Before 2020 ends, it looks like Mother Nature has another ball of time that will launch in North Texas. A high-powered storm system will move through parts of the southwestern United States during the middle of the week.
North Texas will see showers on Tuesday and Wednesday plus rain and thunderstorms.

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

This means that for areas of North Texas, a transition from rain to sleet and snow will be possible on Wednesday night and during the day on Thursday.
Before the snow shovel explodes, keep in mind that there are still many details to be resolved. The top level storm track will be critical. A change of 50 to 100 miles could make the difference between who sees snow and who sees rain.
