Weather Flip: From Mild to Chilly

North Texas, USAWed Nov 13 2024
You know how you can feel a cold front coming when the wind shifts? Well, North Texas is about to get a little taste of that. A soft cold front is going to pass by on Wednesday, and while it won't cause a big commotion, it might bring some slightly cooler temperatures and a breezy northwest wind. No rain is expected, so don't worry about that. The forecast looks pretty good for the weekend. Expect highs in the 70s and plenty of sunshine. The wind might pick up a bit on Saturday and Sunday, though, with a south breeze of about 20 mph. Looking ahead, there's a chance of rain early next week. This is because the jet stream is starting to change patterns. By the middle of the week, things could get quite a bit cooler.
