Texas greets the morning with cool air settling over Dallas–Fort Worth, where jackets feel necessary before sunrise. Clear skies and calm winds allow the chill to linger briefly, but change arrives quickly.
According to the National Weather Service, temperatures across Dallas start the day in the upper 30s to near 40 degrees. Winds remain light, and no hazardous weather is expected. Roads stay dry, visibility remains excellent, and travel conditions are smooth across I-35E, I-30, and I-20. For now, it feels like winter, but only briefly.
Sunshine dominates as the day unfolds. Temperatures climb steadily, reaching the mid-60s by afternoon. Outdoor plans benefit from dry air and mild conditions. To be fair, this is one of those classic North Texas rebounds that rewards patience after a cool start.
Saturday brings a dramatic warm-up. Highs surge into the upper 70s with sunny skies and a light southwest breeze. It feels more like early fall than December. Sunday cools slightly, but still reaches the mid-60s with filtered sunshine and calm weather.
Looking ahead to Christmas travel week, meteorologists are tracking a continued warming trend. Highs climb into the mid to upper 70s early next week, with dry conditions holding firm. Nights remain mild, limiting frost concerns across the Metroplex. Models show little sign of winter precipitation through midweek, offering favorable travel conditions for holiday plans.
Still, temperature swings remain a seasonal reminder. Cooler mornings followed by warm afternoons can stress sensitive plants and catch early travelers off guard. Keep layers handy and plan for changing conditions through the day.
For now, enjoy the quiet weather window. Sunshine, dry roads, and warming temperatures set the stage for an easy weekend across North Texas. Traveling soon for the holidays? How warm did it feel outside your door today?
