This weekend will be much dryer and colder in DFW than the previous weekend, with chilly days starting in the 30s each morning and highs that will struggle to reach the 50s.
Saturday will kick off with north winds of 15 to 25 mph and wind chills in the 20s and 30s. On Sunday, winds will shift east to southeast ahead of the next weather system and cold front, which is expected to pass through the region early next week, according to the National Weather Service (NWS).
“At least the rain holds off until Monday,” NWS Fort Worth quipped.
Late Thursday night marked the arrival of the cold front, which will bring temperatures more typical of December, NBC 5 reported.
“Rain chances will increase along and behind the front [Thursday night]. Another round of rain is expected [Friday] afternoon, especially across Central Texas,” according to predictions from CW 33.
The chance of precipitation will increase once again on Monday following the weekend; however, forecasters do not expect any severe weather or widespread heavy rainfall. Nevertheless, it will likely be cold and cloudy with highs in the low 40s and wind chills in the 20s and 30s throughout both Monday and Tuesday nights.
KRLD News warned local residents to make sure not to leave their pets outside this weekend, especially during nights and mornings, and to cover fragile plants in case a light freeze takes hold.
The cool but otherwise mild weather follows shortly after a major storm produced several tornadoes across the region last week, including a notable one that touched down in Lamar County, just northwest of Dallas, as previously reported in The Dallas Express.
