Texas wakes up under a crisp, quiet sky, with cold air biting at hands and wind brushing across empty roads. Jackets feel necessary early, but sunshine already hints at a calmer stretch ahead as winter briefly loosens its grip on North Texas.
According to the National Weather Service, north winds continue this morning around Dallas, keeping temperatures in the 40s before a steady climb this afternoon. Highs reach the mid-50s today with clear skies, while winds ease compared to Friday’s stronger gusts. No precipitation is expected, and visibility stays clear for area airports and major highways.
Across the Dallas–Fort Worth area, the coldest pockets linger in outlying suburbs and low-lying areas. Drivers heading out early may notice chilly pavement, especially on bridges and shaded ramps, though widespread icing is not expected. Still, caution helps during January mornings when temperatures hover near frost levels.
The bigger story arrives looking ahead. Sunshine dominates Sunday, pushing highs close to 60. By Monday and Tuesday, warmer southwest breezes lift afternoon temperatures into the mid to upper 60s. It feels more like early spring than mid-winter, at least during the day. Nights remain cool, with lows mostly in the upper 30s and 40s.
This pattern fits a broader national setup, with colder air locked farther north while much of Texas benefits from downslope warming. For now, no snow or ice signals appear locally, though rapid evening cool-downs can still create slick spots after sunset.
Daylight also continues to improve. By the end of January, Dallas gains roughly 40 extra minutes of evening light, a subtle but welcome winter shift.
