Coldest air of the season heading to North Texas – NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth

Big changes are coming to North Texas, so enjoy the mild temperatures into the weekend. Our above average temperatures will soon drop.

WHAT MOVES US?

From Siberia, Arctic air continues to spread across Canada. Ultimately, this air mass will move south 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 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^nd. We average 29 freezes per season, with the most freezes being 62 freezes in the 1977-78 season. Our earliest recorded frost was 31 degrees on October 22, 1898.

At this time, we are not expecting a freeze in DFW due to this cold air invasion. However, some areas could experience frost next Thursday, Friday and Saturday morning.

Stay tuned for updates on this upcoming weather event.
