About this listen
Dallas local news evening update for January 27, 2026. The winter storm continues to disrupt life in North Texas, with dangerous road conditions leading to hundreds of accidents and even arrests for icy street racing. We also report on the sad closure of a Deep Ellum favorite, Dot's Hop House, which has served the neighborhood for a decade.
In education news, Dallas ISD and other districts have officially cancelled Wednesday classes due to the threat of freezing fog and black ice. On the political front, Governor Abbott halts H-1B visa petitions at state universities, shaking up hiring at institutions like UT Dallas. We also check in on former Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy's emotional introduction in Pittsburgh.
Finally, we find a warm spot in the cold with the opening of The Gibson, a new supper club braving the elements to welcome diners. Stay informed with ExtraLocal Dallas, your daily source for Dallas news, business updates, and weather alerts.
