Good Wednesday morning, North Texas!

We’ve got a quick-moving cold front sliding through the area today. Don’t let the word “cold” fool you: this one is pretty wimpy as far as actual cold air goes. The main thing you’ll notice is a flip in the wind direction from south to north, with gusts picking up into the 20–30 mph range this afternoon. It’ll feel noticeably breezier, especially out in open areas and along the I-35 corridor, but temperatures won’t take much of a hit.

Look for highs this afternoon right around 60–65 under a mix of sun and high clouds. The rest of the workweek stays mild and dry: low to mid-60s Thursday and Friday with lighter winds returning by Friday.

The weekend is when things get more interesting. A much stronger, legit cold front barrels in late Saturday (think Saturday night into early Sunday morning). Clouds will thicken up Saturday afternoon and evening ahead of it, and by Sunday morning you’ll definitely feel the difference. Highs on Sunday will struggle to get out of the low to mid-50s, with a brisk north wind making it feel even chillier (wind chills likely in the 40s much of the day).

Looking ahead to early next week (Monday–Wednesday), the overall pattern may finally loosen up just enough to allow a little Gulf moisture to sneak back northward. Models are hinting at a low-end chance (20–30%) for a few light showers or sprinkles, mainly east of I-35. Nothing widespread or heavy, and some runs keep us completely dry, but it’s the first decent rain chance we’ve seen in a while, so we’ll keep watching it closely.

In short:

• Today–Friday: Breezy today, then pleasantly mild in the 60s.
• Saturday: Increasing clouds, still mild until the front hits at night.
• Sunday: Sharply colder, windy, highs only in the 50s.
• Early next week: Slightly unsettled with a small shower chance possible.

Have a great Wednesday! -William

Good Tuesday morning, North Texas.

After a chilly start, today feels like North Texas flipped the switch to “pleasant mode.” We’re trading the bite of the last few mornings for abundant sunshine and downright mild air. Highs this afternoon will climb into the mid-to-upper 60s for most of North Texas, with low 70s very possible across western North Texas (looking at you, Breckenridge and Graham). Light south winds will make it feel even nicer – perfect weather for lunch outside or finally washing the car without freezing your hands off.

Tonight stays quieter and noticeably less frigid than recent nights. Lows will only dip into the mid-40s in the metroplex with low 40s out in the northwestern counties. No frost worries for most of us.

That mild theme sticks around the rest of the workweek. Expect mostly sunny to partly cloudy skies Wednesday through Friday with highs holding steady in the 60s each afternoon.

The big change arrives this weekend. A strong cold front barrels through late Saturday or Saturday night, flipping the script in a hurry. Sunday will feel like a totally different season: highs will struggle to get out of the 40s across much of North Texas, with lower 50s as far south as Waco. Morning lows Sunday could even flirt with freezing north and west of DFW.

Right now, the forecast is dry behind the front, but we’re watching the potential for a few sprinkles or light showers near the boundary Sunday into early Monday, especially southeast of DFW. Confidence is still low, but we may need to add low-end rain chances in future updates.

Bottom line: Enjoy the gorgeous midweek gift – because winter is reminding us it’s just getting started come Sunday.

Have a great day, North Texas! -William

Good Monday morning, North Texas!

After a frosty start to the day (many of us woke up to temperatures in the 20s and low 30s), we’ll see plenty of sunshine this afternoon, but it’s going to stay on the chilly side. Highs will only struggle into the low to mid-50s area-wide, so keep the jacket handy if you’re heading out.

Tonight won’t be quite as cold as recent nights. Lows will settle into the mid-30s for most of the region, with the Metroplex and points south staying just above freezing. No widespread frost worries for the majority, though a few colder pockets north and west could dip close to 32°.

The workweek ahead looks very calm and pleasant. Tuesday through Friday will feature mostly sunny to sunny skies each day with a steady warm-up. By mid-to-late week we’ll be back in the 60s (some spots could even touch the upper 60s Thursday and Friday). Perfect December weather for getting outside or knocking out those holiday errands.

Our next cold front slides in Friday night into early Saturday, dropping highs this weekend back into the 50s with a noticeable chill in the air again. The good news? Right now the front looks to come through dry – no rain to mess up your weekend plans.

Looking even farther out, there are some early hints that a few showers could try to develop late Sunday into Monday as moisture returns behind the front, but confidence is very low and a lot can change between now and then. We’ll keep you posted as the models get closer.

In short: Bundle up today, enjoy the quiet and seasonably cool week ahead, and we’ll watch that potential late-weekend shower chance as it gets closer. -William

This morning got off to a foggy start across much of North Texas, with visibility dropping to a quarter-mile or less in some spots, especially along and east of I-35. If you’re heading out early, give yourself a few extra minutes and keep the low beams on.

The good news? That fog will steadily lift and scatter through mid-to-late morning, giving way to partly to mostly sunny skies by lunchtime. It’ll feel noticeably milder this afternoon as a light southeasterly breeze kicks in. High temperatures will climb into the upper 50s across the northeast counties, with lower to middle 60s near Dallas-Fort Worth and points south and west. A very pleasant early-December Saturday once the fog says goodbye.

Tonight turns chilly but not bitterly cold. Lows will dip into the middle and upper 40s under mostly clear skies. Patchy fog may try to re-form after midnight, especially in low-lying areas east of the Metroplex (think Kaufman, Hunt, and Delta counties). If you’re an early riser Sunday, you might encounter a few foggy spots.

Sunday brings the passage of a weak cold front during the morning hours. Don’t expect a big Arctic plunge – this is more of a gentle nudge than a shove. Clouds will increase for a few hours behind the front, but any showers stay well to our north and east. Highs Sunday will top out mainly in the 50s – about 5-10° cooler than Saturday.

Monday stays cool and quiet with highs holding in the low to middle 50s under a mix of sun and high clouds.

From Tuesday onward, we’ll see a steady warm-up. Highs rebound into the 60s by mid-week, with some spots possibly touching 70° again by Thursday. Another weak cool front slides through Friday, knocking temperatures back closer to seasonal norms for next weekend (highs in the middle 50s to around 60°).

Rain chances? Unfortunately, the forecast remains dry through at least the middle of December. No meaningful precipitation is showing up on current model guidance for North Texas. Soil moisture will continue to decline, and burn bans may expand in the coming days. -William

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.

Good morning, North Texas. If you stepped outside today, you already know it’s a raw, chilly, and damp one out there. Scattered light rain showers and drizzle have been sliding across the region since the pre-dawn hours, leaving roads damp and the air feeling colder than the thermometer suggests. The good news? This isn’t a big rainmaker – most of the showers will continue to taper off through the late morning and early afternoon. By midday, many spots will transition to just occasional drizzle under a stubbornly cloudy sky.

Expect high temperatures to stay locked in the mid-to-upper 40s all day – about 15–20 degrees below average for early December. With the dampness and a brisk north wind at times, it’ll feel more like the upper 30s when you’re out and about. Keep the heavy coat, umbrella, and maybe even a scarf handy if you have outdoor plans.

The mood brightens heading into the weekend:

• Friday: The clouds will thin out a bit. The chill eases, though – highs climb back into the middle 50s, which will feel much more comfortable.
• Saturday: A nice reward after the gloomy stretch! Sunshine returns in full force, and temperatures rebound solidly into the low-to-mid 60s. A perfect day for college football watch parties, holiday shopping, or finally getting those outdoor Christmas lights up.
• Sunday into Monday: Our next cold front slips through Sunday morning. It’s not a powerhouse, but it will shave temperatures back down. Highs both Sunday and Monday will top out in the middle 50s under a partly to mostly sunny sky.
• Middle of next week: We bounce right back. 60s return by Tuesday and Wednesday with lots of sunshine.

Rain chances? After today’s dreary drizzle finally exits, the forecast looks bone-dry for at least the next 10–12 days. No big storms, no washouts – just a classic early-winter pattern of mild days, occasional chilly shots, and plenty of sunshine in between.

Good morning, North Texas. Make the most of this pleasant Wednesday while it lasts. We’ll see a mix of sun and partly cloudy skies with comfortable highs climbing to around 60° and light winds.

It’s one of those perfect December days to get outside for a walk, eat lunch on the patio, or let the kids (or dogs) burn off some energy before the weather turns.

Changes arrive tonight. Showers will develop by late evening and tonight, mainly across our far southeastern counties south and east of the Metroplex (think areas along and southeast of I-45, including Corsicana, Palestine, and points toward Lufkin). Rainfall there will be moderate, with some spots picking up a quarter-inch to a half-inch.

By Thursday morning, a damp and chilly pattern takes over the entire region. Light rain showers will spread northwestward, reaching the entire DFW area by mid-morning. Don’t expect heavy rain – we’re talking drizzle and occasional light showers totaling only a few hundredths to a tenth of an inch for most neighborhoods. The bigger story will be the raw, gloomy feel: temperatures will hover in the low-to-mid 40s all day long under a blanket of clouds, with a north wind making it feel even colder. Classic North Texas “bone chill” kind of day – you’ll want the heavy coat and an umbrella just in case.

This sluggish system finally clears out Thursday night. Friday will start off cold (lows in the 30s), but sunshine returns and temperatures rebound nicely into the mid-to-upper 50s by afternoon.

The weekend is looking fantastic. Dry weather sticks around with plenty of sunshine both Saturday and Sunday. Highs will bounce back into the low-to-mid 60s, with light winds and cool, crisp mornings in the 30s to low 40s. Perfect football watching, holiday shopping, or outdoor project weather.

After a downright chilly start to our Tuesday, the official low at DFW Airport dipped to 30° just before sunrise – marking the first freeze of the season officially for the Metroplex. Many of us in the Metroplex and areas north/west of Dallas scraped a little frost off the windshield this morning.

Sunshine quickly takes over, and temperatures will rebound nicely this afternoon. Look for highs climbing close to 50° with mostly sunny skies and a light breeze – cool, but a huge improvement from the pre-dawn chill.

Tonight won’t be as harsh. Lows should settle in the mid-to-upper 30s across most of the area, so we stay just above freezing for the majority of neighborhoods. Still, keep the plants covered or brought inside if you’re in a typically colder pocket (especially north of I-20 and up toward the Red River).

Wednesday turns into the pick day of the week. A big warm-up is on the way with plenty of sunshine and highs pushing into the 60s – perfect December weather for getting outside, washing the car, or finally putting up those Christmas lights.

Enjoy it while it lasts, because our next weather-maker slides in Thursday. A quick-moving system will bring mostly cloudy skies and a small chance of very light showers or sprinkles (nothing heavy – many spots may stay dry). The bigger story will be the return of chilly air. Highs Thursday struggle to get out of the 40s, and with a brisk north wind, it’ll feel raw all day long. Wind chills could stay in the 30s most of the afternoon.

North Texas, bundle up – we’re in for another chilly afternoon. High temperatures will struggle to climb out of the 40s today, with many neighborhoods topping out in the mid-to-upper 40s at best. A stubborn deck of clouds will hang around through much of the day, keeping that gray, late-fall feel firmly in place.

Skies will finally begin clearing late this afternoon and especially after sunset. That clearing is going to flip the switch on to some radiational cooling tonight. With calm winds and a fresh, dry airmass in place, temperatures will plummet overnight. Expect widespread lows in the 20s across the northern and western counties, with temperatures near 30 closer to Dallas-Fort Worth and points south and east. Yes, that means another freeze is likely, even inside the Metroplex – so protect sensitive plants, pets and pipes one more time.

Looking ahead, we’ll see a nice warm-up for Tuesday and Wednesday. Highs should rebound into the middle 60s by Wednesday with plenty of sunshine.

Enjoy it while it lasts, because another storm system arrives Thursday. This one will drag a reinforcing shot of colder air back into the region along with a decent chance of rain, especially Thursday afternoon into Thursday evening. It doesn’t look like a heavy rain maker right now, but plan on a damp, raw day with highs likely stuck in the 40s once again.

So in short: cold today, frigid tonight, gorgeous Tuesday-Wednesday, then back to chilly and wet by Thursday. Stay weather-aware, North Texas.
