DALLAS – North Texas is enduring a brief return to winter-like conditions Monday, with temperatures well below normal, but a rapid warm-up is expected to push highs into the 80s later this week before a stormy weekend arrives.
Monday Forecast
The high temperature at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport is expected to top out at just 55 degrees Monday, significantly colder than the normal high of 69 degrees.
The chill began overnight, with temperatures plunging into the mid-to-upper 30s around Dallas and Fort Worth. Wind chill values made it feel like the low to mid-20s in some areas, with outlying locations like Bridgeport and Bonham dropping into the upper 20s.
The cold airmass is expected to persist for roughly 24 more hours, with Tuesday morning lows again forecast in the upper 30s and low 40s.
Tuesday Forecast
However, a rapid turnaround is forecast for Veterans Day. Southerly winds will rapidly increase Tuesday afternoon, gusting up to 30 mph and pushing the high back up to 70 degrees. Forecasters described the day as feeling like “two seasons in one day.”
The warm trend accelerates mid-week, with highs expected in the mid-to-upper 70s Wednesday and climbing into the low 80s on Thursday and Friday.
All eyes are on a strong disturbance approaching from the west, which is expected to bring the highest chances for rain and thunderstorms to the region beginning Saturday night and continuing through Sunday. The system is then expected to move out, dropping temperatures from the 80-degree highs.
