Temperatures return to the 50s in North Texas on Thursday before dropping close to freezing by Saturday

North Texas temperatures remained above freezing Wednesday night. This went a long way in getting that dangerous road ice to take its leave of us. 

A weak cold front came through Thursday afternoon, and winds picked up from the northwest. We'll have some colder temperatures on Friday with lows starting in the 20s and highs in the mid-40s. Then another front comes in Friday night and it gets colder still.

If going out on Friday night, be aware that the winds will pick up as an arctic cold front pushes across North Texas. Temperatures will drop quickly in the evening.  

When you wake up on Saturday, make sure to bundle up before heading out. Wind chills are only in the single digits.

The National Weather Service issued a cold weather advisory for Saturday. Please limit your outdoor exposure, especially during the morning hours.

After another cold morning on Sunday, temperatures will be warmer next week. The forecast includes a shot of some precipitation on Tuesday. This time it will be just rain.
