Dallas, Texas – A wetter and increasingly mild weather pattern is expected to develop across Texas between Saturday, Feb. 8, and Wednesday, Feb. 12, increasing the potential for rain and occasional snow in parts of North Texas, including the Dallas area.
According to the NOAA Climate Prediction Center, much of Texas is included in an area with above-normal precipitation probabilities during the 6–10 day outlook period. Temperature outlooks also show a strong likelihood of above-normal temperatures, particularly across central and southern portions of the state.
As warmer air spreads northward, most precipitation is expected to fall as rain, especially during daytime hours. However, brief periods of snow or a rain-snow mix remain possible during overnight and early morning hours across North Texas, depending on how quickly temperatures rise during individual systems.
Rather than a single major storm, the outlook suggests multiple chances for precipitation over several days. These conditions may lead to wet roadways, reduced visibility, and localized ponding, particularly during heavier rain events. While widespread winter impacts are not currently indicated, changing conditions could still affect morning and evening commutes.
Areas farther south, including Central and South Texas, are expected to see primarily rain as temperatures remain above freezing. Northern sections of the state may experience greater variability in precipitation type during cooler periods.
Young workers, students, and commuters should prepare for day-to-day forecast changes, especially where temperatures fluctuate near freezing.
Forecasters note that this outlook reflects large-scale weather patterns, not specific storm systems or precipitation totals. Rainfall amounts, snowfall potential, and exact timing will become clearer as the forecast window approaches.
Residents are encouraged to monitor daily forecasts and National Weather Service updates for the latest information.
