Texas — Sunlight spills across North Texas early this morning, and it already feels more like April than late December. A mild breeze slides through Dallas neighborhoods as temperatures push past the low 50s before sunrise. Jackets come off quickly today.
By afternoon, Dallas climbs toward 78 degrees under sunny skies. South winds add a warm, dry feel, making outdoor plans easy. Roads across I-35E, I-30, and Loop 12 remain dry and clear. For now, travel conditions stay ideal.
Tonight turns mostly clear, with temperatures settling near 50. That warmth lingers into Sunday morning, limiting any frost concerns. Drivers heading out early should still watch shaded areas, though icy spots are not expected.
Sunday brings a subtle shift. Clouds increase, and highs ease back into the low 60s. It feels cooler but still comfortable. Meteorologists note this pattern as a classic December warm-to-mild transition. While winter weather stays well north, changing air masses signal seasonal movement.
Monday rebounds quickly. Sunshine returns, and Dallas warms back into the mid-70s. Winds stay light, and visibility remains excellent. No rain or travel hazards are expected through Monday evening, keeping holiday schedules intact.
Looking ahead, temperatures hold near 80 by Tuesday and Wednesday. That warmth continues into Christmas week, reducing concerns for snow or ice locally. Travelers flying or driving out of North Texas should experience minimal weather delays.
Still, this time of year brings quick changes. After all, winter patterns can shift fast across the Plains. Residents returning home later this week may notice cooler nights, even if days stay warm.
