Texas starts the day wrapped in soft clouds and mild air.
A calm morning quickly gives way to heat more typical of April than February.
Temperatures sit in the mid-50s early across Dallas–Fort Worth. Light winds and dry pavement make for an easy start. By late morning, sunshine takes control. Afternoon highs surge to around 82 degrees, pushing well above seasonal norms. Short sleeves won’t feel out of place today.
This warmth arrives courtesy of a strong warm front, lifting north through North Texas. Winds remain mostly light, keeping conditions comfortable rather than gusty. Still, the rapid temperature rise can catch people off guard. Stay hydrated if you’re outdoors this afternoon.
Clouds increase tonight, and temperatures stay unusually mild, falling only to around 60 degrees. That warmth holds into Tuesday. Highs reach the upper 70s, though skies turn more overcast. A few isolated showers become possible late Tuesday night, especially west of the Metroplex.
By Wednesday, a weak boundary slips through. Temperatures cool modestly, topping out near 73 degrees. Skies brighten again, offering a brief pause before the next weather shift.
Late week brings increasing attention. Thursday rebounds into the low 80s, reinforcing the springlike pattern. By Friday, moisture deepens across North Texas. Showers and thunderstorms become more likely, especially after midday. While severe weather is not guaranteed, downpours could impact evening travel.
Looking ahead into the 6–10 day window, above-normal temperatures continue to signal a broader February thaw across the southern U.S. Winter cold remains locked farther north, while Texas leans early toward spring.
