Hey Dallas, winter is about to show up in full force! After enjoying some comfortable weather, a major Arctic front is on its way, bringing freezing temperatures and chilly days. This weekend will feel like a completely different season, so it’s time to bundle up and get ready for the cold.
Here’s What the Weather Looks Like This Week
Let’s break it down day by day so you know what to expect:
- Thursday: The day will be sunny and mild, with highs around 62°F. It’s a great day to get outside or wrap up any errands because the cold is just around the corner.
- Friday: Things start to shift. Clouds will roll in, and it’ll turn breezy in the afternoon. Temperatures will still be nice, with highs near 63°F, but this will be the last warm day for a while.
- Saturday: Get ready for a sharp drop in temperatures. Highs will only reach 46°F, and even with plenty of sunshine, the cold breeze will make it feel much chillier.
- Sunday: Winter takes over completely. Highs will be stuck at 37°F, and overnight lows will fall to 22°F. You’ll want to layer up if you need to go outside.
- Monday: The coldest day of the week. Clouds return, and temperatures will hover around 31°F during the day and drop to 20°F at night.
- Tuesday: A little sunshine peeks through, but it’s still cold. Highs will reach 37°F, and lows will stay near 25°F.
- Wednesday: By midweek, we’ll see a slight warm-up. Highs will climb to 41°F, but mornings and nights will still feel pretty chilly.
Why You Should Care
This cold snap isn’t just about bundling up—it’s about staying safe. Freezing temperatures can lead to frostbite if you’re not properly dressed, and icy conditions on roads and sidewalks can make getting around dangerous. On top of that, your home’s pipes and heating system could be put to the test.
How to Get Through the Cold Snap
Since the weather is cold, make sure you are warm. Pull out all your warm clothes, socks, and boots. Besides that, do not step out unnecessarily. Stay indoors as much as possible. If you are out, drive slowly. Keep an eye on your insulated pipes so that they don’t freeze. And above all, look out for others as well.
What’s Next?
Dallas, this Arctic blast is going to bring some of the coldest air we’ve seen in a while, so don’t let it catch you off guard. Use the next day or two to prepare—whether that means grabbing groceries, testing your heating system, or dusting off your warmest coat.

This cold snap might be a little uncomfortable, but we’ve handled winter weather before, and we’ll get through it just fine. Stay warm, stay safe, and don’t forget to take care of your neighbors. The cold won’t last forever, but being ready will make all the difference!
