DALLAS – A cold front is expected to reach the Metroplex this weekend, signaling a departure from the recent warm spell. Scattered showers are anticipated to continue through Sunday.
Friday’s Weather Outlook
A cold front will traverse North Texas during the late morning and afternoon hours on Friday. Areas north of Dallas-Fort Worth will experience notably cooler conditions, with high temperatures ranging between the mid-60s and upper 70s. Following the front, northerly winds may reach gusts of up to 35 mph.
The passage of the front will usher in considerably lower temperatures and a minor possibility of precipitation. A 30% likelihood of showers exists for the DFW region around 8 p.m., with nighttime lows dropping into the 40s and 50s.
Weekend Weather Predictions
Saturday will see cooler air persist, with maximum temperatures only climbing into the low to mid-60s. Light showers have a 20% to 40% chance of occurring Saturday morning, but significant rainfall is not expected.
By Sunday, southern winds will resume, bringing back sunny skies and pushing high temperatures back into the lower 80s.
Seven-Day Outlook
As we move into next week, an eastward shift in a high-pressure ridge is anticipated. This alteration will enable western disturbances to introduce renewed opportunities for rain across North Texas. Monday and Tuesday could see temperatures soaring close to 90 degrees.
Allergy Levels Stay Elevated
North Texas continues to experience very high tree pollen counts, with ragweed levels at a moderate intensity. Presently, both mold and grass pollen levels are low.
During the height of tree pollen season, specialists advise sealing windows and doors, particularly when it’s windy. It’s suggested that residents limit outdoor activities during early morning hours and rinse off upon re-entering their homes. As per AccuWeather, allergy medications can also provide relief from symptoms.
