Dallas weather: Feb. 23 morning forecast

The week is off to a cold start, but will not last long. Meteorologist Ali Turiano has your forecast.

Expect seasonably cooler weather Monday, a significant shift from the unseasonably warm February temperatures seen recently. With mainly sunny skies and light winds, highs will climb into the upper 50s this afternoon. 

While Monday night remains chilly, most areas will stay above freezing as lows drop into the mid-30s to low 40s.

7-Day Outlook

The warmup begins in earnest Tuesday as strong southerly winds take over, pushing temperatures into the low to mid-70s. Because humidity levels will remain low and temperatures will sit 10 to 20 degrees above average, there is an elevated fire threat for the region. No rain is expected this week.

Temperatures will peak in the 80s Wednesday before a weak cold front arrives early Thursday morning. This front will bring a brief influx of cooler air, though the region will remain mild and dry through the end of the week.
