Dense fog advisory, flood watch issued for parts of North Texas

DALLAS – You may need to take it a little slower on Tuesday because of the dense fog that has developed in parts of North Texas.

The National Weather Service issued a Dense Fog Advisory for dozens of north and central Texas counties until 10 a.m. That includes Tarrant, Denton, Collin, Dallas, and Rockwall counties.

If you are heading out the door for work or school, you will want to give yourself a little more time to make it to your destination safely.

Give yourself more room between you and the car in front of you. Use low beams instead of high beams to see better and prevent glare. And if you are struggling to see the roadway, use the lines as a guide.

As of 6 a.m., only 10 flights had been delayed out of DFW Airport and only three were delayed out of Dallas Love Field because of the weather.

Flood Watch and more rain in the forecast 

Tuesday will also be a wet and cold day, although not as cold as Monday.

According to the FOX 4 Weather team, the morning showers will become more widespread rain as we get closer to noon and into the afternoon. 

While the DFW area will be on the “cooler” side of a stalled front (40s to near 50), our southeast areas will be warmer and have more moisture available for heavy rain and some storms. 

There is a Flood Watch for those areas and rain amounts could be more than 2 inches.

The rain should move out late in the day and head east with more fog possible Tuesday night as temps hold in the 40s.

Still more showers are in the forecast for Wednesday, albeit fewer. The last chance for showers and storms is on Friday.

You may get another 1–4 inches before the end of the week.
