DALLAS–FORT WORTH, TX – Early fog hangs low across the Metroplex this Monday morning, softening headlights and muting the skyline. It’s the calm before a noticeable shift — a midweek pattern change that will sweep in cooler, drier air and the first blustery winds of late October.
According to the National Weather Service in Fort Worth, patchy dense fog may linger along I-35 and Highway 287 through midmorning before sunshine breaks through. Highs climb into the low 80s today, marking one of the last truly warm starts before fall air takes control.
By Tuesday, southeasterly winds pick up to 20 mph, turning gusty ahead of a strong cold front. That front pushes through North Texas early Wednesday, bringing brisk northwest winds up to 40 mph and a quick 15- to 20-degree temperature drop. Skies will stay bright, but dust and light debris may blow around construction zones or open fields — drivers should use caution on exposed roadways, especially west of Fort Worth and along I-20.
Wednesday’s highs will barely reach the low 60s, ushering in a refreshingly crisp feel for late October. By Thursday and Friday, clear skies and calmer winds return, ideal for outdoor decorating or school Halloween events. Trick-or-treating conditions look comfortable Friday evening with temperatures in the upper 60s and a light breeze — jackets optional, candy bags ready.
A chilly November ahead appears likely as another cool surge builds by next week, signaling the start of a steadier fall-to-winter rhythm across North Texas.
