Texas – Warm air hangs over North Texas this morning, soft and almost springlike, with a mild breeze moving across quiet neighborhoods. It feels far from winter right now, but the shift toward colder weather is already on the calendar as holiday travel ramps up.
According to the National Weather Service, temperatures climb quickly today under sunny skies. Afternoon highs push into the lower 80s around Dallas, well above late-December norms. Roads stay dry, visibility remains clear, and travel conditions are smooth along I-35E, I-30, and the Dallas North Tollway.
Tonight stays mild, with lows settling in the mid-60s. Saturday repeats the pattern. Sunshine dominates, winds stay light, and highs approach 80 degrees again. Outdoor plans, errands, and end-of-year gatherings benefit from the extended warmth.
Clouds increase Sunday, signaling the change ahead. Highs remain near the upper 70s, but south winds strengthen through the afternoon. A slight chance of showers develops Sunday night as a cold front approaches from the north. While rainfall looks limited, wet pavement could briefly affect late-evening drivers.
By Monday, winter finally makes its presence known. Cooler air settles in, winds turn north, and highs struggle to reach the mid-40s. The temperature drop feels abrupt after days in the 80s. Any lingering moisture may dry quickly, but the colder air brings a sharper edge to the morning commute.
Monday night turns chilly, with lows dipping near the upper 20s. Patchy frost becomes possible in outlying areas. Tuesday moderates slightly, though conditions stay cool and dry. Looking ahead to New Year’s Eve on Wednesday, temperatures rebound into the upper 50s with quiet weather expected after sunset.
Enjoy the warmth while it lasts. Secure loose items before winds increase Sunday night, and keep a jacket ready for Monday’s cold snap. How warm did it feel where you are this morning?
