Dallas Forecast: Frigid Monday Followed by Unseasonably Warm Weather Return
Dallas residents should prepare for a dramatic weather shift this week. Following a chilly start with temperatures plunging into the 20s, North Texas is set to experience a warm-up, with highs climbing into the upper 60s and even reaching the 70s by week’s end.
Monday Forecast: Bundle Up for Frigid Temperatures
The workweek opens with an unexpected freeze. Morning temperatures across the Dallas-Fort Worth area are projected to be in the low to mid-20s. The wind will exacerbate the cold, making conditions feel even harsher.
The National Weather Service (NWS) alerts residents that wind chills could drop into the teens on Monday morning. It is advisable to wear heavy coats, gloves, and hats when venturing outdoors.
Safety Tips for Freezing Temperatures
With the possibility of sub-freezing conditions, the NWS recommends the “Four P’s” for safety:
- People: Dress warmly.
- Pets: Keep them indoors.
- Pipes: Insulate exterior faucets and turn off sprinklers.
- Plants: Protect or bring sensitive plants indoors.
Cloud cover will increase throughout the day, impacting temperatures. Highs are anticipated to reach only the upper 40s to around 50 degrees. With milder nighttime conditions, temperatures will stay above freezing, dropping to the upper 30s and low 40s.
7-Day Forecast: Unseasonably Warm Weather Returns
The rest of the week promises a significant warm-up across the region. Tuesday’s highs are expected to reach the low 60s, with a steady increase in temperature notable for the middle and later parts of the week.
By the end of the week, Dallas-Fort Worth could see afternoon temperatures soar into the mid-60s to low-70s. A slight chance of isolated showers is possible in far southeast areas on Wednesday, but dry weather is expected for most of the week.
Upcoming Cold Fronts
Two minor cold fronts are on the horizon—one anticipated late Thursday, followed by another on Sunday. However, both systems are predicted to bring minimal changes, moving through dry with no harsh Arctic air expected.
This warming trend appears set to continue well into the next week. Stay tuned for updates as weather patterns evolve.
