Freezing rain is coming down near Lubbock to Midland, and for much of Texas further to the east. Therefore, the wintry mix will not be a threat anymore, and the fog will dissipate by mid-morning. The rest of the state is clear, dry and cold. Temperatures will be near normal across the state, with a big warm up for the east/southeast plains. High pressure will build in Friday, starting a warming trend, which will peak over the weekend. High temperatures will be around five to ten degrees above average by Sunday.
