Before 2020 comes to an end, it looks like Mother Nature has yet another time curved ball to launch in North Texas. A powerful system of top-level storms will spread through the southwestern parts of the United States midweek.
Northern Texas will see rain on Tuesday and additional rain and storms on Wednesday.

As the storm system spins and turns north, it is expected to slow down and strengthen. If this happens, more cold air will be pulled down and will help to cool the air in the middle part of the atmosphere. This will make the atmosphere more capable of producing snow and causing the snow to hit the ground.

This means that for parts of northern Texas, a transition from rain to hail and snow will be possible on Wednesday night and during the day on Thursday.
Before using the snow shovel, know that there are still many details that need to be resolved. The top-level storm trail will be critical. A 50-100 mile change can make a big difference between those who see snow and those who see rain.
