Rain Totals, Highs in the 90s then Highs in the 60s! Welcome to October North Texas
WARMING UP, THEN A BLAST OF COLD AIR...
We have very pleasant weather on tap for the next several days. Afternoon highs will warm up as we move into Thursday and Friday. Then a blast of cold air arrives for the weekend. This will make for the coolest weekend since March. There is still a little question as to the timing of the cold front. Some models bring it thru on Friday, others are a little slower bringing it thru on Saturday. All models show this front, and the result is somewhat similar with highs only in the 60s for Sunday. The weekend forecast will feature some cloud cover and possibly some light rain. Here is the forecast.
