Hundreds of flights were canceled in Texas on Thursday as a winter storm barreled down on the Dallas area.
The storm brought a slippery mix of sleet and snow with two to five inches of snow forecast to fall in some areas, according to the National Weather Service Fort Worth.
“Slick conditions are already out there on the roads!” the NWS warned. “Bridges and overpasses will become slick and accumulate sleet and snow first. Drive with caution if you're out on the roads!”
The stormy conditions also led to major flight disruptions across the area with Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) forced to cancel more than 530 outgoing flights and hundreds of incoming flights nixed as well, according to flight tracker FlightAware. Nearby Dallas Love Field Airport (DAL) similarly canceled more than 100 outgoing flights and had more than 100 incoming flights canceled.
For its part, DFW said it would be treating its massive property with 875 tons of sand, 169,000 gallons of liquid deicer, and more than 1,000 tons of other roadway materials.
“DFW airport is, well, big,” the airport wrote in a post on X, adding, “Our teams and our partners will be working throughout the day to keep DFW Airport safe and operational! If you are scheduled to travel through DFW today, please check with your airline on your flight's status before heading to the airport and use caution while driving.”
Several airlines issued flight waivers for the South, including Delta Air Lines, United Airlines, American Airlines, JetBlue, Southwest Airlines, Spirit Airlines, and Frontier Airlines.
After it passes the Dallas area, the storm — dubbed Winter Storm Cora — is expected to move east with winter alerts in effect in cities like Atlanta, Birmingham, Charlotte, Memphis, Nashville, and Raleigh, according to The Weather Channel. By Friday, the storm was expected to bring snow into Kentucky, Tennessee, far northern parts of Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia, and into North Carolina and upstate South Carolina.
