DALLAS, TEXAS — A fresh cold front will sweep through Texas early Sunday morning, bringing a sharp drop in temperatures, gusty winds, and the first widespread freeze of the month by Monday morning.

Clouds are expected to clear by late afternoon, allowing sunshine to return, but highs will remain well below seasonal norms.
The National Weather Service reports that overnight lows will dip into the mid-20s to low 30s across much of North and Central Texas by early Monday, marking a widespread freeze across the region. Areas farther south, including Houston and Austin, will likely drop into the mid to upper 30s, with patchy frost possible in suburban and rural areas.
