Fort Worth, TX – The National Weather Service has issued a Wind Advisory and a Cold Weather Advisory for much of North and Central Texas. Residents are urged to prepare for gusty winds and frigid temperatures over the next 24 hours.
According to the advisory, the Wind Advisory is in effect from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. today, with northwest winds expected to reach speeds of 20 to 30 mph and gusts up to 40 mph. Meanwhile, a Cold Weather Advisory will take effect at midnight and continue until 10 a.m. Monday, warning of wind chills between 6 and 11 degrees above zero.
