An extreme arctic airmass is set to bring dangerous cold to North Texas through Monday and Tuesday, with temperatures remaining below freezing until later in the week. The National Weather Service issued a Winter Storm Watch for Dallas, Collin, and Denton counties, extending from Friday afternoon through late Saturday night. This Arctic front is expected to deliver a mix of freezing rain, sleet, and snow, potentially impacting travel and infrastructure from Friday evening through Sunday.
Following a weekend where wintry mix covered much of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex with snow, ice, and sleet, multiple school districts across Denton, Dallas, and Collin counties cancelled school and extracurricular activities for Monday, Jan. 26, and/or Tuesday, Jan. 27. Celina is located approximately 12 miles north of Frisco.
In addition to weather concerns, Celina is addressing long-term resource management. As the city experiences rapid development with major retailers, housing projects, and schools planned for the coming years, officials are weighing stricter water rules. The city’s current lack of water resources may lead to increased conservation efforts by summer 2026. Further details on specific conservation measures or development timelines were not provided in the source material.
