North Texas, grab a light jacket – we’re in for a noticeably cooler Saturday. After a taste of early-November warmth the past couple of days, a cold front that slipped through overnight has flipped the switch. Look for highs today only climbing into the mid-and-upper 60s under a veil of high, thin cirrus clouds streaming in from the west by late day. A fresh north breeze 5-15 mph will make it feel even cooler, especially this morning and again late in the day.
Tonight stays quiet and downright chilly for late November. Under mostly clear to partly cloudy skies, temperatures will dip into the 40s across our northern and western hometowns, with upper 40s to near 50 holding on in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex and areas south and east.
Sunday will feel nearly identical – sunshine mixed with clouds, highs again in the 60s, and light and variable winds by afternoon.
The forecast gets more interesting heading into the second half of the weekend. Our next storm system approaches from the west, with showers and a few embedded thunderstorms likely developing late Sunday afternoon across western North Texas. The rain becomes more widespread Sunday night and lingers into at least the first half of Monday. While the severe-weather threat remains very low (the atmosphere just doesn’t look energetic enough for anything organized), a slow-moving batch of heavy rain is possible. Many locations could pick up 1–3 inches of rain by the time it wraps up Monday evening, with locally higher amounts where the heaviest bands set up.
So enjoy the crisp, fall-like weekend while it lasts – and keep the umbrella handy by Sunday night! 🌧️🍂
