DFW Weather Forecast 2024: New Year’s Eve Cold Front Timeline
Warmer than normal temperatures have been dominating the end of 2024 in Dallas. However, as we approach New Year’s Eve, a cold front is set to sweep through, bringing cooler temperatures with it. So, what can we expect in the days leading up to the new year?
Next Chance of Rain
While the recent Christmas Eve and day after Christmas rain brought over 1 inch of rainfall to some areas, the next chance for rain will be minimal. The best chance for rain will be in East Texas, with only a stray shower or storm possible in the morning or early afternoon. Nothing severe is expected, and most areas will likely stay dry throughout the weekend.
Rest of the Weekend
Looking ahead to the rest of the weekend, one word sums it up: pleasant. Temperatures will continue to climb, with highs near 70 degrees in the middle of winter. While these temperatures may not bring joy to everyone, it’s hard to complain about such mild weather at this time of year.
Temperatures
As we approach New Year’s Eve, the trend for temperatures remains on the rise. Highs are expected to be warmer than normal for most of the remainder of 2024. However, on the very last day of the year, a cold front is predicted to move through, bringing cooler, but closer to normal, highs. The forecast for New Year’s Eve shows temperatures in the middle 50s after highs in the 60s and 70s.
14 Day Outlook
Overall, the weather pattern for the next 14 days looks fairly tame. New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day are expected to be cool and dry, making it perfect for outdoor celebrations and activities.
So, as we bid farewell to 2024 and welcome the new year, be prepared for a mix of warmer temperatures, a cold front, and minimal rain chances in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Stay tuned for live radar and forecast updates to plan your New Year’s Eve festivities accordingly!
