Dallas, TX – The Lone Star State is waking up to calm skies and a crisp, 40-degree chill this morning — but changes are already brewing. A weak system tracking east will bring scattered showers to North Texas late Wednesday night into Thursday, followed by cooler, breezy weather to wrap up the week.
The National Weather Service in Fort Worth calls for a 30% chance of rain Thursday, mainly before midday, as clouds thicken over the Metroplex. Temperatures will hover near 48°F to 50°F, dropping into the mid-30s by early Friday. While no severe weather is expected, drivers should anticipate damp pavement and slower commutes across I-35, I-30, and Loop 12 during the morning rush.
By Friday, skies clear and sunshine returns — though a light north wind will keep highs modest near 54°F. The weekend looks pleasant and dry, ideal for early Christmas shopping, outdoor decorating, or travel plans, with highs in the low 60s and chilly mornings in the 40s.
Meteorologists note that this pattern shift marks the start of December’s gradual cool-down, with another possible cold front early next week.
For now, grab the umbrella Thursday and the jacket Friday — Dallas’ early December weather is all about contrasts: brief rain, brisk air, and a sunny rebound ahead.
