Another Warm Up This Week

With the passage of a strong cold front last night, today will mark an end to the two-week long stretch of well above normal temperatures that has characterized the latter half of December. Highs today are expected to remain in the 40s, with lows tonight ranging from the 20s across North Texas to near freezing across Central Texas. This shot of cold air will be brief, only lasting a couple of days before warming back up above average.

Our cold shot will be short-lived, as temperatures will climb once again throughout the week this week. Tuesday will be near or just below average with highs in the low 50s. Then we enter another stretch of above average temperatures with highs climbing into the 60s and 70s. North and Central Texas will continue to remain dry, as there are no meaningful rain chances for the region for at least the next week.
