Updated Drought Monitor

The updated Drought Monitor for this week remains steady. A large part of North Texas is drought free. Hamilton county to the southwest of Dallas – Fort Worth continues to be the area of concern with extreme drought conditions down there.

Temp. and Precip. Trend

Temperatures will be milder heading into the first part of the weekend with 60s. A cold front arrives on Sunday and chills us back down for next week. A few showers and T-Storms are possible on Saturday ahead of that front – mainly south and east of Dallas – Fort Worth. However, a stronger slower storm system arrives for next week with chances of rain and with cold air in the area – some locations in the region may also see more wintry weather.

Actual Morning Lows

It was a cold start to the morning across North Texas with most locations at or below freezing. Officially at DFW we remained above freezing and that continues a streak of no freezing temperatures at our official reporting station for the month of January.
