A significant weather change is expected to arrive in North Texas late tonight, bringing much cooler temperatures for the weekend and a decent chance of rain overnight through tomorrow afternoon. The below-average temperatures will persist into early next week as well.
Good morning and happy Friday. We are waking up to a low cloud bank moving in from the south once again. Temperatures are currently near 70 degrees, which is 15 degrees above the average for this time of year. There is no rain on the radar, so a dry commute to work is expected this morning. We will get some breaks in the clouds today, allowing temperatures to warm into the low to mid-80s. It will be very windy, with south winds gusting up to 30 mph. It is recommended to take allergy medication.
As mentioned earlier, a significant weather change will arrive after midnight tonight as a strong cold front moves through the area while you are sleeping. The front will pass from north to south between 3:00 a.m. and 7:00 a.m. Temperatures will drop from the low 70s to near 50 degrees by 8:00 a.m. There will also be a large area of showers and non-severe thunderstorms moving through the area during this time frame, with the heaviest rain expected to fall during this period. On and off shower activity will continue through late morning, ending from northwest to southeast during the afternoon on Saturday. Temperatures will hover in the 50s for most of the day but may rise to the low 60s if sunshine is visible, especially along and north of Highway 380. The 30 mph wind will make it a chilly and blustery day.
The skies will clear overnight on Saturday, leading to a beautiful Sunday. Morning lows will dip into the 40s, with afternoon highs reaching close to 70 degrees. Enjoy!
Clouds will be in and out from Monday to Wednesday of next week as a disturbance slowly moves across South Texas. While a few showers cannot be ruled out during this period, measurable rain is expected to stay across Central and Southeast Texas. Afternoon highs will be in the low 70s on Monday and Tuesday, rising to near 80 degrees on Wednesday and Thursday as sunshine becomes more noticeable.
Another weather change is expected by the end of next week, bringing a chance of rain and cooler temperatures leading into the following weekend.
Have a terrific day today, a splendid weekend, and enjoy the rain and the weather when you can, it's the only weather you've got.
