Crisp air and thin frost coat lawns across North Texas early this morning, a brief brush with winter before sunshine dominates the week ahead. Residents in Dallas and surrounding suburbs are waking to temperatures near 40°F, with patchy frost possible in low-lying areas before sunrise.
According to the National Weather Service in Fort Worth, skies remain clear as a warming trend builds midweek. After a chilly start, highs climb quickly — reaching the mid-60s Tuesday and upper 60s to near 70°F by Thursday under bright December sun. South winds between 10 and 15 mph, with gusts near 20 mph, will help usher in the milder air.
Drivers along I-35, Highway 75, and the Dallas North Tollway should allow a few extra minutes early in the morning as frost on windshields and cool pavement could briefly slow commuters. By late morning, though, conditions turn near perfect for outdoor plans — clear, dry, and comfortably warm for early December.
The warming continues into the weekend with Friday highs near 71°F, followed by a slightly cooler but still mild Saturday in the upper 50s. No rain or storms are expected through at least Sunday, keeping North Texas dry and stable heading into the middle of the month.
