There is also a chance for light snow or flurries, but the very cold temperatures are expected to be the main impact with this front.

TRAVEL ALERT: Peak wind gusts are expected to be between 55 and 65 mph on Thursday afternoon due to an arctic front entering the area sometime Thursday morning. Strong winds could make driving a challenge, especially in high profile vehicles. If you have travel plans, make sure to drive to conditions and check out drivetexas.org before starting your trip.
