DFW Weather: Chilly Weekend with a Slight Chance of Snowflakes

Weekend Cold Snap

• 🥶 The DFW area is bracing for the coldest morning of the season on Sunday, finally bringing a true winter feel after a warm start.
• 🌡️ Overnight lows on Saturday will be in the low 30s, with Sunday morning temperatures dropping into the mid-20s for most, and even the lower 20s in some areas.
• ☀️ Sunday afternoon will see a significant warm-up, reaching close to 60 degrees, making the cold brief.

Possible Snowflakes

• ❄️ There is a low, non-zero chance (3-5%) of seeing a few snowflakes or a sprinkle midday on Saturday, primarily in the far northwestern sections of North Texas.
• 💨 The snowflakes would need to survive a fall through dry air and would likely evaporate upon reaching the ground due to temperatures being well above freezing (around 40 degrees).
• ⚠️ Meteorologists are mentioning this possibility due to the nonzero chance, but emphasize there will be no impacts from any potential precipitation.

• 💧 DFW is currently almost 4 inches of rain drier than normal for the winter season, with only 0.900s of an inch of rain recorded since December 1st.
• 📈 No significant rainfall is expected in the next two weeks, and the chilly weather is expected to persist with many days in the 50s.
