A significant storm system impacted the region last night and into early this morning, followed by a wind advisory and a notable cold front this afternoon. This system will cool things off significantly tonight through Thursday.
Good morning and welcome to Wednesday. Currently, scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms are moving into the area from the southwest. This precipitation will gradually shift eastward by mid to late morning. All warnings have been canceled. Rainfall totals over the past 12 hours range from 1 to 3 inches across North Texas. DFW Airport has received just over an inch of rain, while other areas within the Dallas-Fort Worth region have seen varying amounts.
As the cold front approaches the area around noon, skies will clear gradually from northwest to southeast throughout the afternoon. A wind advisory will take effect at 1:00 p.m. today, remaining in place through mid-evening, with wind gusts reaching up to 45 mph.
Cooler, drier air will follow the front, causing temperatures to drop into the 40s by tomorrow morning, with wind chills in the 30s. Afternoon highs will reach the mid-60s, making for a beautiful day.
Temperatures will fall into the 40s again by Friday morning under clear skies. Expect sunny conditions with highs returning to the 70s and low humidity. South winds will gradually return.

A strong cold front will then move through the area, although it will not bring any precipitation. Temperatures will plummet into the 30s to low 40s by Monday morning, accompanied by a stiff north wind creating wind chill values in the 20s in some areas. Despite plenty of sunshine, temperatures will remain cool, with afternoon highs only reaching the low to mid-50s.
Freezing temperatures are expected in some areas on Tuesday morning, particularly northeast of the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Plenty of sunshine and slightly warmer temperatures are forecast, with highs returning to the 60s.
