Chilly and breezy temperatures will be followed by a widespread freeze in North Texas
NORTH TEXAS – It was a foggy start to the day due to calm winds, cold temperatures, and a moist airmass over the region. This resulted in significantly reduced visibility. As the sun and the temperature rose, the fog lifted, leaving us with a beautiful skyline.
Highs will top out in the 70s across North Texas Monday, some spots even reaching 10 degrees above the normal typical high for this time of the year. Though the warmth will be nice, don't get used to it.
Another strong cold front is on the way and is forecasted to bring frigid temperatures. There will be nearly a 20-degree temperature difference from Monday into Tuesday afternoon.
In addition to the temperature dip, the winds will gust up to 30 mph over the next 24 hours. Now is the time to bring in anything that can be tossed around, such as outside holiday decorations and trash cans.
In addition, the wind will make temperatures feel even colder, especially early Tuesday morning.
The cold air settles across North Texas on Wednesday. Expect the potential for a widespread freeze with lows in the 30s and 20s, but with the added wind chill, it will feel more like the lower 20s.
After midweek, temperatures continue to rise. Dry conditions will also be present, with the next chance of rainfall anticipated entering the weekend. Stay tuned for the latest First Alert Weather updates.
