Texas Cold Front Arrives Saturday Morning Dropping Temperatures From Mid-70s to 60s With Chilly 40s Expected Across North Texas Sunday
TEXAS — A cold front is set to arrive across Texas early Saturday morning before sunrise, bringing showers, rumbles of thunder, and a sharp temperature drop that will dramatically change the feel of the weekend across the state. Temperatures running in the mid-70s after midnight will crash to near 50 degrees by mid-Saturday morning behind the frontal passage, with highs only recovering into the 60s by late Saturday afternoon.
Sunday morning will bring another cold jolt to the region, with North Texas expected to wake up to temperatures in the 40 to 45 degree range — a stark contrast to the warm spring conditions residents have been enjoying earlier in the week.
Cold Front Timing and Saturday Conditions
The cold front is forecast to sweep through Texas before sunrise Saturday, meaning many residents will wake up to already-changed conditions with showers ongoing and temperatures falling rapidly. Thunder is possible with some of the heavier rain bands accompanying the frontal boundary as it pushes through the region during the early morning hours.
Behind the front, temperatures will drop sharply to near 50 degrees by mid-morning Saturday as cold air rushes in to replace the warm and humid air mass ahead of the system. Some additional showers are expected to linger behind the front before rain gradually clears into Central Texas by noon, allowing skies to partially improve through the afternoon hours.
Saturday Afternoon and Evening Outlook
Once the front clears and rain moves out by midday, late Saturday afternoon will see temperatures only managing highs in the 60s — a significant drop from the mid-70s recorded just hours earlier in the same day. The cooler and drier air settling in behind the front will make Saturday afternoon feel noticeably more like a classic cool spring day rather than the warm conditions Texans have been experiencing.
Residents with outdoor plans for Saturday should be prepared for the dramatic shift in conditions, particularly during the morning hours when the combination of rain, thunder, and falling temperatures will make for unpleasant outdoor conditions across much of the state.
Chilly Sunday Morning Expected Across North Texas
By Sunday morning, the coldest air of the weekend will settle firmly into place across North Texas, with temperatures expected to range from 40 to 45 degrees at daybreak. Residents should have jackets and warmer clothing ready for Sunday morning outdoor activities, as the feels-like temperatures could be even cooler with any lingering winds from the frontal passage.
