Dallas residents can expect a week of mild and pleasant weather as February comes to an end, with temperatures reaching the upper 70s before a weak cold front brings a slight dip midweek. While the city has seen its fair share of winter chills, this week will feel more like an early taste of spring, with mostly sunny skies and comfortable temperatures dominating the forecast.
However, don’t get too used to the warmth just yet. A cold front will move through North Texas on Thursday, briefly lowering temperatures before a warming trend kicks in again heading into the weekend. The drop won’t be dramatic, but cooler mornings and evenings may require an extra layer before things heat back up.
Why Is Dallas Seeing a Temperature Dip?
The warm start to the week is thanks to a high-pressure system that has settled over the region, allowing warm air to build in from the south. This setup is bringing unseasonably warm temperatures, with highs soaring to 80°F (26°C) on Wednesday.
But by Thursday, a weak cold front will sweep through North Texas, nudging temperatures down about 10 degrees. Unlike some cold fronts that bring storms or drastic temperature drops, this one will be relatively mild, keeping conditions dry with only a slight increase in clouds. By Friday, the sun will return, and temperatures will begin climbing again as the weekend approaches.
