FORT WORTH — As North Texas expects below-freezing temperatures starting Saturday, there are questions as to how it will affect a stacked weekend of big events, such as the Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo and MLK parades. In Fort Worth, the message is clear: "Saddle up and bundle up" for the cold weather this weekend.

First Alert Weather Days have been issued from Sunday to Tuesday due to an incoming Arctic blast. North Texas is expected to experience significantly colder temperatures and potentially hazardous conditions during this period.

With an arctic blast on the way, Texas officials want to make sure people understand weather conditions are about to change.
