Kylie Capps, a meteorologist for FOX 4, examines the arctic blast that will cause temperatures to drop below freezing on Sunday as well as the possibility of severe weather.
DALLAS: Prepare yourself, DFW—cold is on its way!
We will see freezing temperatures the next week as a result of a cold front that is predicted to pass over our region on Sunday.
Saturday Forecast: Mild, Chance of Drizzle
Overnight, clouds rolled in, preventing this morning’s temperature drop. Throughout the day, those same clouds will prevent us from getting significantly warmer.
The high is predicted to be in the low 60s.
Additionally, it will be humid due to southern winds that draw moisture from the Gulf.
In the late afternoon to evening, there is a chance of some drizzle, but it is unlikely.
Sunday Forecast: Cold front moves through
On Sunday morning, the cold front will pass across North Texas.
Before morning, the front will move into our northwest regions.
As the front passes through our region, the winds will pick in speed across North Texas. There is a slim likelihood that we may get storms and showers to our east.
Temperatures will be in the low 60s at daybreak. Temperatures will reach the 30s or 40s during the afternoon.
Wind chills will reach the 20s by Sunday evening.
Monday Forecast: Freezing Temps, Dangerous Wind Chills
On Monday morning, the temperature will be below freezing, and the wind will make it feel considerably colder.
Depending on where you live, wind chills will be in the single digits or teens.
The temperature will be dangerously low.
In the afternoon, temperatures will rise above freezing once more, reaching highs in the upper 30s.
Will it snow?
Regarding this chilly blast, many people are inquiring as to whether snow will fall.
In terms of weather, we are still six days out, which is a significant period.
In the event of a storm system, it would occur Thursday through Friday AM.
Although we are aware of the general pattern, we are unsure of how it will be refined. In this instance, there is still indication that the storm might either pass over us or track far to the south and avoid us.
We must wait until the upper-level storm begins to form before we can track it because every model run has fluctuated between these scenarios.
Over the course of the weekend, we anticipate the data to alter.
7-Day Forecast
Until at least Friday, the low temperatures are predicted to remain below freezing.
As we approach next week, things might change. To remain current, be sure to download the FOX 4 Weather app and FOX LOCAL.
