The coldest air of the season heading into North Texas – NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth

Big changes are in store for North Texas, so enjoy the mild temperatures until the weekend. Our above-normal temperatures will soon plummet.

WHAT MOVES US?

From Siberia, Arctic air continues to build across Canada. Ultimately, this air mass will flow southward into the continental United States.

We expect a strong cold front to move into North Texas next Tuesday evening. This frontal passage will drop our highs into the mid to upper 50s and our lows into the mid to upper 30s to lower 40s.

A FREEZE OR NO FREEZE?

Our average first freeze date for DFW is November 22nd. We average 29 freezes per season, with the most 62 freezes during the 1977-78 season. Our earliest recorded frost was 31 degrees on October 22, 1898.

Currently, we are not expecting a freeze at DFW from this cold air invasion. But some areas may witness frost next Thursday, Friday and Saturday morning.

Stay tuned for any updates on this impending weather event.
