If you’ve been enjoying the warm, sunny weather in Dallas this week, don’t get too used to it—big changes are coming fast. The weekend forecast is shaping up to be a complete weather flip, with Saturday feeling like summer and Sunday bringing an abrupt return to winter-like chill.
Saturday will be one of those beautiful, warm February days that make you forget it’s still technically winter. Skies will be mostly clear, and temperatures will soar to a surprising 83°F (28°C), perfect for outdoor plans. Whether you’re heading to a patio brunch, taking the kids to the park, or just soaking up the sunshine, it’ll feel more like late spring than early February.
But don’t let that warmth fool you—because by Sunday, it’s a completely different story.
A cold front will sweep through overnight, and by Sunday morning, temperatures will struggle to climb past 51°F (10°C). The day will start off cloudy, with a few light showers possible early on, and a cool breeze will make it feel even colder. By the evening, the temperature will dip even further to around 45°F (7°C), making for a chilly end to the weekend.
And the gloomy, cold trend doesn’t stop there. Monday will bring even more clouds and scattered rain, with highs only reaching about 49°F (10°C). By Tuesday morning, temperatures could drop as low as 39°F (4°C), with drizzly, damp conditions sticking around through the afternoon.
For Dallas, where weather swings can happen fast, this weekend’s drastic shift is a reminder of just how unpredictable Texas weather can be. If you’re planning to be out and about, here’s what you need to keep in mind:
- Saturday is your best bet for outdoor activities – Enjoy the warmth while it lasts, because it won’t be sticking around.
- Sunday will feel completely different – Dress in layers and bring a jacket if you’ll be out for long periods.
- Watch out for wet roads – Sunday morning’s light rain could make roads slick, and fog or drizzle on Monday could add to the hazards.
- Stay updated – If you have travel plans, check the forecast frequently, as temperatures could shift even more.
This weekend is a classic example of how quickly things can change in Texas. One day, you’re in shorts and sunglasses, and the next, you’re pulling out your winter coat again. So, enjoy the sunshine while you can, but don’t forget to grab that jacket before heading out Sunday—you’re definitely going to need it.
