Above-average temperatures and above-average precipitation. Those are our weather stories as we head towards the end of the week and into the holiday weekend. Winter officially arrives at 9:27 p.m. Thursday evening.
Grab your jackets out the door this morning. Temperatures have fallen into the 30s under a mainly clear sky. High clouds filter into the area today with afternoon highs near 60°. A south wind returns at 10 to 20 mph.
Sixties will be popular tomorrow through Saturday as Gulf of Mexico moisture starts to stream in from the south. We'll also have mid-level moisture coming in off of the Pacific from the southwest. This is our subtropical jet stream.

This southern jet will be responsible for rain moving into the area late Thursday into Friday and then again late Saturday into the first part of Sunday. Before all is said and done, 1 to 2 inches of rain are possible across North Texas. As of now, I'm not looking for severe weather, but a few strong storms are possible on Sunday.

As of now, it looks like all the rain will move out just in time for Santa's visits late Sunday night. A cold front will make it feel seasonable for Christmas Day with afternoon highs in the upper 50s, with a north wind at 15-25 mph.
