Roller coaster ride of temperatures continues across North Texas
NORTH TEXAS – Tuesday was mild and cool with highs sitting right around average; however, by Wednesday, highs are forecasted to climb 15 degrees above average ahead of an advancing front that will significantly cool temperatures on Thanksgiving Day.
Winds will come from the south over the next 24 hours, which will build in the moisture. This will allow for more cloud cover on Wednesday and Thursday. Gusts up to 30 mph will be possible, over the next several days.
Thanksgiving Day, a front will move across the area and bring cold, Canadian air as well as gusty northerly winds. The winds will make it feel even colder, the forecasted wind chill will make it feel more like temperatures are in the 30s and 40s. In addition, Thursday morning will start cloudy with gradual clearing throughout the day.
Radiational cooling will happen overnight Thursday which will allow for a frigid morning on Friday. It is looking like the coldest air of the season will filter into North Texas. This is why the First Alert Weather Team has issued a First Alert for the potential of a widespread first freeze across the region. Now is the time to plan ahead and have a plan to take care of any sensitive plants and animals.
This weekend another dry frontal system will keep temperatures below average into the next week. Speaking of the next week, the chance of rainfall will be back.
