Better break out the big coat along with the champagne in North Texas tonight.
The forecast called for a 40 percent chance of rain this afternoon, with temperatures falling from a high of 45 to around 20. The National Weather Service in Fort Worth says Dallas-Fort Worth could see a few snow flurries.
The real problem will be the wind. A north-northeast wind between 10 and 15 mph, with gusts to 25 mph, will send the wind chill down into the teens just in time for New Year's Eve revelry.
At 5:30 p.m. a light rain was falling at DFW Airport, and a fog had rolled into North Texas. Snow was reported in Wichita Falls.
