FORT WORTH — As North Texas expects below-freezing temperatures starting Saturday, there are questions as to how it will affect a stacked weekend of big events, such as the Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo and MLK parades. In Fort Worth, the message is clear: "Saddle up and bundle up" for the cold weather this weekend.

There is now a 60-70% chance that our entire forecast area observes at least measurable snowfall,” the National Weather Service in Fort Worth said Sunday.

North Texas is likely to see a three-day stretch of bone-chilling cold starting Sunday, according to the National Weather Service. Amid an Arctic cold front that arrived earlier this weekend, the region could experience frigid weather until at least midweek the upcoming week.

A dangerously cold wind chill and a low chance of flurries or light snow will impact North Texas through Wednesday afternoon.

First Alert Weather Days have been issued from Sunday to Tuesday due to an incoming Arctic blast. North Texas is expected to experience significantly colder temperatures and potentially hazardous conditions during this period.

Sunday morning, wind chills will be in the single digits, and temperatures will feel below freezing for the next three days.
