NOAA Unveils North Texas Winter Weather Forecast: Key Expectations
Recent weather predictions for North Texas have been generated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), offering insights on winter conditions from December 2025 to February 2026. The forecasts suggest that residents should prepare for a season that could bring warmer-than-normal temperatures.
NOAA Winter Weather Forecast for North Texas
The NOAA Climate Prediction Center released its seasonal outlook on October 16, 2025. This report indicates that the chances of experiencing above-normal temperatures in North Texas range from 33% to 40% this winter.
Temperature Expectations
In North Texas, the temperature averages for December, January, and February are projected as follows:
- December: 57.9°F
- January: 56.5°F
- February: 60.9°F
While temperatures may exceed the typical averages, NOAA clarifies that “above normal” does not necessarily imply extreme heat. Instead, it could reflect only slight increases in temperature.
Precipitation Outlook
The NOAA forecast regarding precipitation indicates “equal chances” for rainfall across North Texas. This means that the region has three potential outcomes: significantly above, significantly below, or close to normal precipitation levels.
In terms of average monthly precipitation, the expected values for North Texas are:
- December: 2.84 inches
- January: 2.53 inches
- February: 2.76 inches
Areas within the Metroplex, as well as parts of East Texas and the Panhandle, are expected to share these equal chances. Conversely, other regions in Texas may experience below-normal precipitation levels.
What This Means for Residents
In summary, North Texans can anticipate a winter that is warmer than average, complemented by unpredictable precipitation patterns. For a clearer picture of the upcoming weather, more detailed forecasts will be made available as the winter season approaches.
