The weather in North Texas has been very quiet for early October, which is normally the second wettest month of the year. So far, there hasn't been a single drop of rain this month and nothing in the forecast shows precipitation for at least the next week.
A strong ridge of high pressure will continue to dominate the weather until a decent cold front comes through late Sunday.
In the meantime, pleasant mornings and warm afternoons will continue through Sunday. Afternoon highs Tuesday will be the coolest until next week with readings topping out in the middle 80s. Temperatures dip back into the 60s overnight, and mid-80s again Wednesday. Temperatures will slowly warm up Thursday through the weekend with highs in the upper 80s Thursday, near 90 Saturday and Sunday.
By Sunday night, a strong cold front will blow through the area, but unfortunately it won't bring any rain with it. Wind will shift to the north gusting to 25 mph on Monday. Afternoon highs will only reach the low 80s. Much of the area will dip into the 50s by Tuesday morning.
