Cold Front Sweeps North Texas: Cooler Temperatures and Rain Expected This Weekend

A cold front sweeping North Texas will usher in cooler temperatures. Rain is expected this weekend, with showers possible through Sunday.

Friday timing and impacts

The front will push into the Metroplex late Friday morning and into the afternoon. Temperatures will fall sharply north of Dallas-Fort Worth, with highs in the mid-60s to upper 70s.

Northerly winds could gust up to 35 mph behind the front. There is about a 30% chance of showers in the DFW area near 8 p.m., with overnight lows dropping into the 40s and 50s.

Weekend outlook

Cooler air will settle in on Saturday. Highs should reach only the low to mid-60s.

A 20% to 40% chance exists for light showers Saturday morning, though rainfall totals are expected to be minimal. By Sunday, south winds and sunshine return, pushing highs back into the low 80s.

Early week and seven-day trends

A ridge of high pressure will shift east heading into next week. That change will allow disturbances from the west to bring renewed rain chances to North Texas.

Highs on Monday and Tuesday could approach 90 degrees as conditions warm again.

Allergy forecast and guidance

Tree pollen levels across North Texas remain very high, while ragweed counts are moderate. Mold and grass pollen readings are currently low.

Health officials recommend keeping windows and doors closed during peak tree pollen times. Avoid outdoor activity in the early morning, shower after coming inside, and consider allergy medication for symptom relief, according to AccuWeather.
