Texas – Warm, humid air drifts across North Texas this morning, carrying the feel of spring rather than midwinter. Clouds hang low, and the breeze stays active as the region wakes up to an unusually mild January start.
According to the National Weather Service, temperatures in the Dallas–Fort Worth area surge into the low 80s today, pushing near daily records. A few brief showers may develop before midday, but most locations turn drier by afternoon. South winds gust at times, making it feel even warmer on open roadways.
This warmth won’t last long. By tonight, skies begin to clear, and cooler air slides in quietly. Lows drop into the low 50s, setting up a noticeable shift by Friday morning. Roads remain dry overall, but early commuters may notice stronger northwest winds.
Friday stays pleasant but cooler, with highs near 71. Sunshine dominates, and humidity drops fast. The change feels refreshing at first, but it signals a broader winter reset. By Friday night, temperatures fall into the low 40s across the Metroplex.
The weekend locks in the chill. Saturday turns sunny but much cooler, topping out in the mid-50s. North winds gust over 20 mph at times, adding a brisk edge. Saturday night dips into the upper 30s, cold enough for patchy frost outside the urban core.
Sunday remains bright and calm, with highs again near 56 and crisp morning lows. Early next week continues dry, with gradual warming into the 60s by Tuesday.
Meteorologists say the overall pattern favors stable weather, but winter mornings return quickly. After today’s warmth fades, jackets will be needed again.
Enjoy the mild air while it lasts. How warm did it feel where you are this morning?
