Very cold overnight temperatures will freeze any precipitation lingering on area roadways, with ice, particularly black ice, expected to be a hazard on Northeast Texas roads tonight and tomorrow morning. Overnight, clearing skies, with lows dropping down to around 17. Saturday, mostly sunny, with highs reaching the low 40s tomorrow. Saturday night, not as cold, mostly clear with lows near 30. Sunny on Sunday, with afternoon highs in the low to mid 40s.

Most areas around Greenville, Commerce, and Sulphur Springs recorded about 2” of accumulation, with much of southern Hunt and Rains counties recording about an inch or less.
