Winter will be on hold for a while... Meteorologist Ali Turiano has your forecast.
A weak cold front moves through Wednesday morning, shifting our breezy southerly winds to the north. North winds will be sustained around 10 to 15 mph with occasional gusts up to 30 mph.
Expect some high clouds and sunshine, with highs reaching the low-to-mid 60s this afternoon. Tonight, clear skies and lighter winds will allow temperatures to fall into the mid-30s to 40 degrees.
High allergen levels in DFW
The combination of strong winds and mild temperatures is expected to keep allergen levels elevated this week, according to AccuWeather.
Pollen counts in the Metroplex are trending in the medium-high range, primarily driven by Mountain Cedar/Juniper pollen. Allergy sufferers are advised to monitor conditions and take necessary precautions, especially on breezy days.
7-Day Outlook
After a chilly start Thursday morning, southerly winds return, pushing temperatures back into the mid- and upper 60s. Temperatures will remain above normal through the end of the week, before a cold front drops temperatures to seasonal averages, according to the National Weather Service.
We stay mild Friday ahead of the next cold front. Behind this system, northerly winds will slowly usher in cooler air by the latter half of the weekend. Highs stay mild Saturday in the low 60s, but by Sunday we will struggle to reach the 50s.
Early next week, the next weather disturbance brings increasing clouds and low rain chances (10% to 30%) by Tuesday.
