Dallas Weather: Cold front sweeps across North Texas
Key Points:
- A cold front is moving through the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex Tuesday morning, ending overnight storms for most areas and bringing gusty winds and cooler temperatures.
- While most of the region is drying out, non-severe thunderstorms with heavy rain and lightning continue south and east of the Metroplex, raising localized flood concerns from Athens to Fairfield.
- Polling locations open with mostly dry conditions, though voters near Palestine and east Canton may experience lingering rain until late morning.
- Temperatures behind the front have dropped to the upper 50s and low 60s, with afternoon highs in the upper 60s to low 70s, significantly cooler than Monday’s 85 degrees; northwest winds will gust up to 25 mph.
- Cooler weather will continue Wednesday with morning lows in the 40s and 50s and pleasant afternoons, while Thursday will see warming temperatures before another dry cold front arrives late in the day.
