North Texas Weekend Forecast: Milder Days Ahead, No Rain in Sight

Happy Friday, North Texas! After our recent chilly stretch, temperatures are finally starting to feel a little more seasonable as we head into the weekend.

Today (Friday): Expect a good amount of sunshine with highs climbing into the mid-to-upper 50s across the Metroplex. A few of our western and southwestern counties (think Graham, Mineral Wells, and Stephenville) could even touch the low 60s this afternoon. Tonight, areas of fog will develop, especially north of I-20. Some spots from Gainesville to Paris and points northeast could see dense fog after midnight, so if you’re traveling late, slow down and use those low beams.

Saturday: Partly cloudy and pleasantly mild. Highs will top out in the low-to-mid 60s just about everywhere – perfect weather for holiday shopping, or just getting outside.

Sunday: Our next cold front slides through during the morning. It’ll be a quick shot of cooler air – no big wind or rain, just a noticeable drop. Highs Sunday will only reach the mid-to-upper 50s under a mix of sun and clouds.

Early next week: The cooler 50s hang around Monday, then we begin a gradual warm-up Tuesday and Wednesday with highs returning to the low-to-mid 60s by the middle of next week.

Rain chances? Pretty much zero. The forecast stays completely dry through at least the next 10 days (and likely longer). If you’ve got outdoor plans between now and mid-December, you’re looking golden.
