Good Monday morning, North Texas!
We’re kicking off a remarkably warm Christmas week ahead, with a steady warming trend that will make this holiday feel more like early fall than winter.
Today (Monday):
The warm-up begins in earnest, with high temperatures climbing back into the mid to upper 70s across the region. We’ll start the day with some morning clouds, but those should gradually clear out, giving way to plenty of afternoon sunshine. A south to southwesterly wind will pick up during the afternoon, becoming breezy with gusts topping out around 25 mph.
Tuesday:
Temperatures continue their upward climb, with much of North Texas pushing toward or even reaching near 80 degrees. Like Monday, we’ll see some morning clouds that should scatter by the afternoon, leaving us with mostly sunny skies and continued breezy conditions.
Christmas Eve (Wednesday):
Expect a repeat performance – highs in the mid to upper 70s, a light south breeze, and mostly sunny skies throughout the day. Perfect weather for any last-minute shopping or outdoor holiday preparations.
Christmas Day (Thursday):
Santa might want to swap the sleigh for shorts this year. We’ll see very warm conditions once again, with forecast highs in the DFW area reaching 78 degrees – flirting with the record high of 82 degrees set back in 2021.
Looking further ahead, our next cold front is currently projected to arrive late Saturday, which should finally bring a cool-down. By Sunday, highs will drop back into the 60s – a more seasonable feel to close out the weekend. For now, the forecast remains dry through the extended period, with no significant rain chances in sight.
Enjoy the unseasonably warm holiday week, North Texas. -William
