Fort Worth, TX – A strong cold front is expected to bring overnight temperatures below freezing in north-central Texas, prompting a Freeze Watch from late Sunday night to Monday morning.
The National Weather Service in Fort Worth predicts temperatures as low as 29°F between midnight and 8 a.m. Monday in Montague, Parker, Wise, Palo Pinto, and Young counties.
The affected zone includes cities such as Fort Worth, Decatur, Mineral Wells, and Graham.
Crops, sensitive vegetation, and outdoor plumbing are all at risk due to the anticipated freeze. The National Weather Service warns that unprotected plants may be damaged or killed by the cold snap.
This alert also serves as a critical indicator of the end of the growing season, especially in areas where the first freeze of the fall has not yet occurred.
Residents are advised to take immediate precautions. Cover outdoor plants, bring in potted greenery, and insulate any exposed pipes. Pet owners should make sure their animals have warm shelter.
Though April freezes are uncommon in this region, historical data indicates that similar patterns can emerge in early spring, particularly after periods of mild weather.
The Freeze Watch is in effect until 8 a.m. Monday. Follow local updates and official channels for any changes or upgrades to warnings.
