Dallas-Fort Worth icy roads expected to continue melting through Wednesday

With temperatures reaching above 32 degrees across the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex on Tuesday, icy roads began to melt; however, roads are expected to refreeze overnight as temperatures drop again.

While the DFW area is not going to see anymore freezing precipitation, roads are not going to have a chance to clear again until mid-day Wednesday, National Weather Service meteorologist Matt Bishop said.

Quote of note: "Whatever melted today is going to refreeze tonight," he said. 

Current situation: Temperatures are expected to drop into the low 20s again Tuesday into Wednesday, Bishop said, which will cause more issues on area roads and sidewalks. Currently, roads are expected to improve more on Wednesday afternoon than they did Tuesday, he said. 

Temperature highs are expected to be in the 40s Wednesday and around 50 degrees Thursday, per the NWS.
