North Texas highs remain in the low 80s to close the work week

Wednesday morning temperatures were once again in the 50s in North Texas, providing another refreshing start. Be sure to grab a jacket for this morning and have the sunglasses handy for this afternoon. Highs today warm into the lower 80s.

There is an Air Quality Alert in effect today due to elevated surface ozone levels. With high pressure in control, sinking air outside traps pollution at the surface instead of allowing it to rise. 

For the next couple of days, our weather pattern will remain quiet. Highs rise into the middle 80s tomorrow and stay there into Friday.  By the end of the workweek, we'll see an uptick in cloud cover, and these clouds will linger this weekend. 

Highs this weekend stay above average in the lower 80s. With dry conditions, it will be perfect for any fall-like activities. Looking ahead to next week, a cold front approaches and should move through around Tuesday.  As a result, we'll see small chances of rain and temperatures right around average.
