Unseasonably warm weather will persist, with a slight chance of rain on Thursday, followed by a significant cooldown on Friday through the weekend. These are the key weather stories for the next seven days across North Texas.
Good morning, and welcome to Tuesday. We are waking up to a mostly cloudy sky and unusually mild temperatures for this time of year, with readings only falling to the mid-to-upper 50s, approximately 20 degrees above average. We will see some sunshine today, accompanied by very warm conditions, with afternoon highs approaching 80 degrees, close to the record high of 79 degrees for today. Enjoy the weather while it lasts. Cedar fever will persist through the end of the week.
On Wednesday, we will wake up to a mostly clear sky with temperatures falling into the mid to upper 40s. Daytime highs will approach 80 degrees once again, with the record high for Wednesday being 83 degrees. Although we may not reach that record, temperatures will still be a significant 24 degrees above average.
A fast-moving storm system will pass through the northwestern third of the state on Thursday, bringing scattered showers to our area during the first half of the day, although the heaviest rain will fall in Oklahoma. We may receive up to a tenth of an inch of rainfall at the Fort Worth airport, and there is a slight chance of thunderstorms, but no severe weather is expected.
A cold front will move through the area late on Friday, bringing windy conditions and sharply colder temperatures. There will be an area of showers and storms forming along the cold front, but it appears that this area will be located just south and east of Dallas and Fort Worth. As the front passes, temperatures will plummet to the mid-to-upper 30s by Saturday morning, with wind chills in the upper 20s, which is around average for this time of year.
Sunny and breezy conditions will dominate on Saturday, with afternoon highs reaching the low to mid-50s and wind chills in the mid-to-upper 40s throughout the day. A light freeze is expected just north and west of the DFW area on Sunday morning, followed by sunny and beautiful conditions, with light winds and highs reaching the mid-to-upper 50s.
By Monday, a light freeze is expected, especially east of DFW, with highs returning to the low 60s, making it feel more like winter by the weekend.
Have a great day today and enjoy the weather when you can, it's the only weather you've got!
