The cold will begin [intensifying Sunday]([link removed]) before the coldest weather of the season settles in either Monday or Tuesday, according to the KXAS-TV (NBC5) forecast.

Throughout the weekend into early next week, highs will only climb into the 30s.

There’s a possibility high temperatures on Monday will remain below freezing. The probability is higher in northwest counties.
