A First Alert Weather Day is in effect through Thursday morning due to the cold, windy conditions across North Texas.

What a shock to the system. This October was running along as the second warmest in history when suddenly the wind picked up. Gusts hit 50 mph at the DFW Airport on Wednesday. Highs stayed in the 60s for the coldest day since last April, and Wednesday night will be the coldest night since then.

North Texas has its first frost advisory of the season Thursday morning, 4 a.m. – 9 a.m. It includes Parker, Jack and Cooke counties. Protect sensitive plants if you want to keep flowers going.

A freeze warning is in place along our western edge. Temperatures might get low enough to officially call it the end of the growing season.

The wardrobe change that Wednesday's temperatures inspired will still be in place on Thursday. 

Highs will again only be in the 60s. It gets better on your Friday after another cold start. For Halloween, the weather looks just fine, light jacket weather and dry. Clouds will be coming in along with another front. It will be colder on Saturday with some early rain chances.
