A thin veil of fog and mist hangs over North Texas this morning, softening headlights and leaving the pavement damp as the region wakes up. Air feels thick and mild, with temperatures hovering near 60°F and visibility slipping in pockets across the Metroplex. These early signs set the stage for a day of shifting skies, growing travel volume, and the first hints of a winter-season transition.
Residents should allow extra time through mid-morning, especially along I-30, I-35W, and major commuter routes where fog lingers. As the low clouds lift, sunshine gradually breaks through, pushing highs into the upper 70s. That warm-to-cool swing signals a larger pattern developing across the country — and one that could affect Thanksgiving travel nationwide.
By Saturday, Fort Worth turns mostly sunny and seasonably warm, but attention shifts quickly to Sunday, when a “Winter Tease” arrives in the form of strong upper-level energy and a chance of thunderstorms. Moisture increases through the day, and models hint at downpours Sunday night. While North Texas stays too warm for any winter precipitation, colder air will build across the central and northern U.S., where heavy snow remains possible next week.
Travelers heading out early for Thanksgiving should watch for delays Sunday evening, especially at DFW Airport, as storm chances climb to 90%.
Looking ahead to Thanksgiving Thursday, Fort Worth appears sunny and mild, sitting near 59°F — ideal for early eating, outdoor gatherings, or the first round of holiday travel returns.
