7-Day Forecast
Temperatures will gradually warm through midweek before rain chances return Wednesday. A disturbance will bring the highest coverage of rain to areas south and east of DFW.
By the end of the workweek, an arctic air mass will invade from the north. As temperatures tumble Friday night, ongoing rain is likely to transition into freezing rain or sleet.
Dallas Weather Weekend Outlook
The wintry mix is expected to continue through Saturday, with temperatures hovering in the 20s and low 30s. While conditions will dry out by Sunday, morning temperatures well below freezing mean ice will likely remain on area roads.
Most of the region will climb back above freezing Sunday afternoon. But, any remaining moisture will refreeze overnight into Monday. A more significant warmup early next week should melt any lingering icy spots.
