Winter weather, where?
December is right around the corner, but the high temperatures this week will be far from frosty.
Sunny and breezy conditions were expected in North Texas the first half of the workweek, with afternoon temperatures in the upper-60s and low-70s.
“A nice day coming our way — no weather worries over the state,” KXAS-TV (NBC5) meteorologist Grant Johnston said.
By Thursday and Friday, temperatures are forecast to max out in the upper 70s. But overnight low temperatures continue to reach the 40s, making for coat-worthy, chilly mornings, Johnston said.
Temperatures leading into December usually average in the 60s, so this week’s weather is a slight departure from the norm, according to climatological data from the National Weather Service. This time last year high temperatures were in the 50s and the low on the Nov. 30, 2020 reached freezing.
To kick off December, the Weather Service is monitoring a storm system that may push showers, thunderstorms and cool conditions through the area by Saturday.
Here’s NBC5′s latest forecast:
Monday: 72/45, sunny and mild.
Tuesday: 73/45, mostly sunny and mild.
Wednesday: 74/51, mostly sunny and mild.
Thursday: 75/58, partly cloudy and mild.
Friday: 77/58, partly cloudy and pleasant.
Saturday: 69/41, partly sunny with a slight chance of rain.
Sunday: 66/54, partly cloudy with a low chance for showers/storms.
