Texas greets the morning under quiet skies, with cool air pooling near the ground and clouds drifting over Dallas–Fort Worth. The calm feels temporary. A steady warming trend builds through Thursday before a cooler pattern slides back in by Friday.
Today turns noticeably brighter. Clouds thin quickly, and sunshine pushes afternoon temperatures into the low 60s across Dallas. A light breeze develops, making it feel crisp but comfortable. It’s a good day for outdoor plans, though layers still help early and late.
By tonight, skies clear completely. Temperatures fall into the mid-30s, allowing pockets of cold air to settle in low-lying areas. Frost is not widespread, but sensitive plants may feel the chill by early morning.
Thursday brings the warmest air of the stretch. Sunshine dominates again, and highs climb near 59 degrees. Winds stay light for most of the day, keeping conditions pleasant for travel and work. The mild feel fades after sunset as winds turn north and cooler air slips in quietly.
Friday stays sunny but cooler. Afternoon highs peak near 61, though the air feels drier and sharper. By Friday night, temperatures drop quickly into the mid-30s. Clear skies allow efficient cooling, and a light freeze becomes possible in outlying suburbs.
The weekend continues the cooling trend. Saturday remains mostly sunny, but highs settle into the mid-50s. Overnight lows dip near 30, raising renewed frost concerns. Sunday moderates slightly, with highs returning to the mid-50s under clear skies.
Looking ahead to Jan 19–23, NOAA outlooks suggest above-normal temperatures across the Southwest, with North Texas hovering near seasonal averages and limited rain chances.
