Hundreds of flights were canceled Wednesday at the busy Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport while parts of Oklahoma, Missouri and Arkansas braced for an ice storm as wintry weather made its way into the Southern Plains.
The National Weather Service says more than half an inch of ice could accumulate in parts of the Ozarks through Friday morning. Southern Kansas could see a trace to an inch of snow early Thursday.
Airlines scrubbed more than 1,000 flights by Wednesday morning, with more than half of the cancellations at the Dallas-Fort Worth airport, where crews began treating runways overnight. Several flights to Dallas-Fort Worth were canceled Wednesday at Wichita’s Eisenhower National Airport.
Temperatures are expected to reach a high of 23 in the Wichita area for the afternoon, then they will drop to the teens. A light wintry mix is expected to fall after midnight, changing to light snow.
