DFW Weather Update: Warmer Temperatures and Rain Chances in the Forecast
Dallas-Fort Worth residents, brace yourselves for a weather rollercoaster! The upcoming days promise a mix of cold mornings, warmer afternoons, and even a chance of rain. Here’s what you need to know to stay prepared and informed.
Cold Mornings Stick Around
As we head into Friday morning, temperatures are set to plummet below freezing, dipping into the 20s under clear skies. While winds from the north at 5-10 mph will help manage wind chills, it’s still advisable to bundle up before stepping out. The chill is real, folks!
Warmup Through Saturday
The cold spell won’t last long as Friday afternoon brings breezy southwest winds at 10-15 mph with gusts up to 20 mph. These winds will help push temperatures closer to normal, marking it as the warmest day in the past week. Saturday will see the mercury rise further, reaching the upper 50s to low 60s, thanks to south/southwesterly winds that will also increase humidity and cloud cover.
Weekend Rain Chances
Get your umbrellas ready! Saturday night will usher in a cold front, heralding scattered showers and a few thunderstorms, primarily along and east of I-35. The rain is expected to persist into Sunday as the cold front sweeps through the region, causing temperatures to drop back into the 40s and low 50s. While severe weather isn’t anticipated, don’t be surprised if you hear a few rumbles of thunder on Sunday.
Unsettled Pattern Next Week
Looking ahead to Monday and Tuesday, expect mostly cloudy skies as moisture streams in from the Gulf, setting the stage for another round of rain and storms from Wednesday onwards. While the exact timing of this rainfall remains uncertain, brace yourself for potentially widespread showers as the next weather system looms on the horizon. Stay tuned for further updates and keep those rain boots handy!
