Mesoscale Discussion 0123
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   1135 AM CST Wed Feb 01 2023

   Areas affected...north-central Texas...northwest Texas...and
   portions of Southwest Texas

   Concerning...Freezing rain 

   Valid 011735Z - 012130Z

   SUMMARY...Light to moderate freezing rain will persist into the
   afternoon from north-central Texas to near Abilene and east of
   Midland.

   DISCUSSION...A band of relatively concentrated precipitation has
   developed from west of San Angelo to northern Texas. This is forming
   in a zone of weak frontogenesis and warm air advection around 700mb.
   This will favor heavier precipitation rates in this corridor through
   the afternoon. The heaviest rates are expected by late afternoon as
   frontogenesis strengthens and focuses in this region. The last
   several HRRR runs suggest a mesoscale corridor of total QPF in
   excess of 0.75 inches. Observations this morning have shown a mix of
   sleet and freezing rain, but this is expected to transition to
   mostly freezing rain this afternoon as the cold air becomes more
   shallow. Icing is expected across most of this region with more
   significant icing possible where any banding can develop later this
   afternoon/evening.

Denton CT falling pretty hard consistent with what radar shows.

Just south of Denton has warmed up into the mid 30's

Lots of reports that radar is showing freezing rain, but nothing hitting the ground.  Do we know what's causing that and could it change ?

Does this mean that DFW is transitioning from sleet to ice?

Looks like the middle of DFW isn't getting much. It has been more West Dallas/Fort Worth/Denton) and some of the east locations.

If this system is producing during the early morning hours wondering what is going to happen come mid day/evening as it moves east.  Towards the enhanced
