Overview
- New Year’s Eve peaked near 66 degrees, roughly 10 degrees above normal, with temperatures in the upper 40s by midnight in the Dallas–Fort Worth area.
- Skies stayed sunny with light southwest winds around 5 to 10 mph, making for comfortable outdoor conditions.
- Forecasts keep Friday warm before a dry cold front moves through Friday night, trimming Saturday’s highs by a few degrees.
- Temperatures are expected to bounce back by late weekend and early next week as cloud cover increases and readings rise into the 70s.
- The warm pattern is being driven by a strengthening ridge of high pressure, and the frontal passage is not expected to produce rain.
