DALLAS, TX – Morning commuters across North Texas are stepping into cool mist and gray skies as December’s first cold front slides through the Dallas–Fort Worth area. Light rain slicks roads near Love Field and stretches east along I-30, while a chilly north wind makes 43°F feel closer to freezing.
According to the National Weather Service in Fort Worth, scattered showers will taper by midmorning as clouds begin to thin. Gusts up to 20 mph will keep conditions brisk before calmer air arrives late in the day. The quick-moving system sets up a major pattern shift — from dreary to downright pleasant — heading into the weekend.
By Saturday, sunshine dominates with highs near 64°F, offering a welcome break for early holiday shoppers and outdoor decorators. Sunday remains mild and dry, holding in the upper 50s. The next chance for rain or colder air looks to hold off until mid-next week, when early models hint at another front possibly dipping south.
Drivers should still use caution through Thursday morning as wet pavement and gusty crosswinds could affect bridges and overpasses. Cooler air tonight may create patchy fog before clearer skies take hold.
Five-Day Outlook (Dallas–Fort Worth Area):
- Friday: High 54°F, partly sunny, calm winds.
- Saturday: High 64°F, mostly sunny.
- Sunday: High 57°F, mild and dry.
- Monday: High 53°F, clear skies.
- Tuesday: High 64°F, warm and breezy.
