North Texas has enjoyed a beautiful week with mild temperatures -- and just think, at this time 3 years ago, we dropped below zero! This morning, the temperature was 60 degrees at 5:45 a.m.
Another beautiful day is ahead Friday with plenty of cloud cover and afternoon highs will touch 70 degrees. But, just a subtle reminder, grab a heavy coat on your way out the door this morning, because you'll need it on the way home from work today. A strong cold front will blast through North Texas by mid to late afternoon and drop temperatures into the mid-40s by 9 p.m. Wind chills will be in the 30s due to the north wind gusting to 30 mph.
Temperatures will continue to tumble overnight with Saturday morning lows ranging between 30-35 degrees. Wind chills will be well down into the 20s. Protect your tender vegetation and bring your pets and doors.
Sunny, windy, and chilly for Saturday, with afternoon highs in the mid to upper 40s. Wind chills will be in the 30s most of the day. Protect your plants and bring your pets indoors Saturday night, because there will be a freeze across much of the area by Sunday morning. Morning lows will dip to 28-32 degrees, but the wind will have relaxed by then.
Sunday will be a chilly day with less wind. Afternoon highs will reach the mid to upper 50s.
Plenty of sunshine is in the forecast Monday through Thursday. Highs on Monday will reach the low 70s, upper 70s on Tuesday, low 80s on Wednesday, and then slightly cooler behind a weak cold front on Thursday with highs in the mid-70s.
