Texas wakes under a quiet sky, the early light catching a thin veil of high clouds drifting over Dallas. Pavement sits dry, but a cooler breeze hints at the changes building for late weekend travel. Residents heading out now should enjoy the mild start, yet keep an eye on the early-December pattern shift that arrives by Sunday.
The warm feel continues through today as sunshine lifts temperatures toward the lower 70s. Light south winds keep the air pleasant, making leaf cleanup or holiday decorating easy. Drivers should still plan patience during peak hours; the calm weather invites heavier traffic, and glare may reduce visibility by afternoon.
Saturday stays mostly sunny and seasonably warm, with highs in the mid-60s before a north wind returns late in the day. That shift marks the first “Winter Tease” of the weekend. Meteorologists now tracking the incoming colder air note a crisp, dry push that will spill south by sunrise Sunday, tightening the pressure gradient and elevating winds to 10–15 mph with higher gusts. Expect a notable chill during morning errands.
Sunday turns bright but cooler, only reaching the mid-40s. The sharper drop, following such mild December warmth, may catch travelers off guard. Plan extra time if driving early; the cooler air can stiffen hands, reduce tire pressure, and create fatigue on longer routes. No precipitation is expected, but rapid temperature swings often increase mechanical issues on I-35 and Loop 12.
Early next week rebounds quickly. Monday returns to the low 50s with sun, and Tuesday jumps back into the upper 50s. By mid-week, Dallas climbs near 70 again, keeping this December pattern lively.
