Winter is showing no mercy this week as a wave of cold weather takes hold in Dallas. While other parts of Texas are dealing with snow and ice, the Metroplex is bracing for frigid mornings and frosty conditions that could make life a little uncomfortable.

Here’s What’s Happening
It’s cold out there, with temperatures sitting at 25°F right now. Even with sunny skies, the chill in the air isn’t going anywhere fast. And tonight? It’s going to get even colder, dipping to 29°F.
What’s Coming Next
The cold snap isn’t over yet. Here’s a snapshot of what you can expect over the next few days:
- Tonight: Clear skies, but temperatures will drop to a frosty 29°F.
- Thursday: It’ll be sunny but chilly, with a high of 50°F and a low of 28°F.
- Friday: A bit warmer, with a high of 56°F and a low of 36°F.
- Saturday: Clouds will roll in, and there’s a chance of afternoon showers. Highs around 53°F, lows near 45°F.
- Sunday: Rain and possible thunderstorms in the morning, tapering off to scattered showers later. Highs will reach 50°F, with lows around 41°F.
Why This Matters
Sure, we’re not dealing with snow or ice like some parts of Texas, but freezing temperatures are nothing to take lightly. Icy patches can form on roads and sidewalks overnight, and water pipes are at risk of freezing. For people without proper clothing or heating, this cold weather can be downright dangerous.
Simple Ways to Stay Safe
- Bundle Up: Wear warm layers, gloves, and a hat if you’re heading outside.
- Drive with Care: Watch out for icy spots on bridges and overpasses, especially in the early mornings.
- Protect Your Home: Wrap exposed pipes or leave faucets dripping to avoid freezing.
- Check on Neighbors: Especially older adults or anyone who lives alone—they may need extra help staying warm.
- Look After Pets: Bring your pets indoors, or make sure they have a warm and dry shelter.

While it’s not snowing in Dallas, it is still cold outside. Make sure to take all precautions and stay safe.
