Texas — The cold settles in sharply this morning, biting exposed skin and frosting windshields across North Texas. Even short walks outside feel punishing as north winds cut through layers.
According to the National Weather Service in Fort Worth, a Cold Weather Advisory remains in effect until 11 a.m. Wind chills across the Dallas–Fort Worth area have dipped as low as zero degrees, raising concerns for frostbite and hypothermia. Temperatures hover near 30 degrees, but gusty winds make it feel much colder.
Early travel remains dry, yet slick spots are possible on shaded bridges and overpasses where moisture froze overnight. Drivers on I-35E, I-30, and I-20 should use caution through the morning hours. If you’re heading out, cover exposed skin and keep gloves handy.
The turnaround arrives quickly. Sunshine strengthens late this morning, pushing afternoon highs into the mid-30s. By Sunday, temperatures surge into the low 50s, melting any lingering frost. That quick thaw may lead to flash freezing late Sunday night as temperatures dip again.
The first full week of February brings a dramatic shift. Monday and Tuesday turn spring-like, with highs climbing into the mid-60s across Dallas and surrounding suburbs. Skies stay mostly dry, offering a welcome break after repeated cold snaps.
Looking ahead, longer-range outlooks hint at another cold front toward midweek, though nothing as severe as this morning’s chill. Big temperature swings remain the theme, a hallmark of late winter in North Texas.
For now, take cold precautions early and enjoy the warming trend ahead. Stepping outside this morning—how cold did it feel where you are?
