Texas – Headlights blur softly through pockets of fog across North Texas early this morning, especially in low-lying neighborhoods and along frontage roads. The air feels mild for January, but visibility drops quickly in spots, creating a quiet travel concern before sunrise.
According to the National Weather Service office serving Dallas–Fort Worth, patchy fog may persist through the early morning hours before thinning. Temperatures hover in the low 50s, with calm winds allowing fog to linger near creeks, fields, and suburban corridors.
Conditions improve steadily as the morning progresses. Sunshine builds quickly, and highs climb into the mid-60s. Roads dry out fast, and visibility improves by mid-morning. Commuters along I-35E, I-30, and Loop 12 should still use caution early, especially where fog forms suddenly.
Tonight turns clear and cooler, with lows dipping into the low 40s. Sunday stays mostly sunny and even warmer, topping out near the upper 60s. The mild pattern signals a broader shift across Texas as winter loosens its grip.
The first full week of 2026 brings an even bigger temperature jump. Monday reaches the low 70s with mostly sunny skies and light south winds. By Tuesday, highs approach the upper 70s, more typical of late spring than early January.
Wednesday continues warm with highs near 78 before clouds increase late. A small chance of showers and thunderstorms arrives midweek, mainly Wednesday night into Thursday. No severe weather is indicated, but brief downpours are possible.
For now, the main impact remains early fog and reduced visibility. Slow down in fog-prone areas, use low beams, and allow extra travel time this morning.
