Hey there, friends! It's almost Friday, and you know what that means - the weekend is just around the corner, and Christmas is sneaking up on us quickly. Time is flying, and before you know it, you'll be singing Auld Lang Syne and wondering where the year went. But enough about that, let's talk about the weather. 

We're waking up to some pretty mild temperatures, mid-40s to low 50s, which is a nice change from the cold temps we've been having. And the best part? Plenty of sunshine to go around, so grab your shades and enjoy the day. Afternoon highs will be in the upper 60s, and with a gentle breeze, it'll feel like a perfect day. 

Now, don't get too comfortable, because a weak cold front is heading our way, but don't worry, it's not going to ruin your weekend. It'll bring some cooler temps, but it'll also clear out by Saturday, making way for a beautiful, sunny day with highs in the mid to upper 60s again. But, another STRONGER cold front is heading our way on late Saturday into early Sunday and it's going to bring some pretty chilly air with it. We're talking wind gusts of up to 25 mph and temperatures near freezing, so make sure you're all bundled up. Wind chills will be in the 20s.

And if you're running in the Dallas Marathon on Sunday, well, you're just plain crazy, but make sure you layer up, because it's going to be a chilly one. 

Now, I know what you're thinking, what about Monday? Well, it's going to be sunny and cool, with highs in the low to mid-50s, so not too bad. And then, things start to warm up again, with south winds returning on Tuesday, and highs in the low to mid-60s. 

By Wednesday, we're looking at sunny skies and highs of 70, and by Thursday, we're talking sunny and 74. So, there you have it, folks, a little bit of everything this week, except rain, but plenty of sunshine to go around. Have a great Friday, an awesome weekend, and don't forget to enjoy the weather while you can, it's the only weather you've got!
