Story

North Texas experienced a significant drop in temperatures on the morning of November 26, 2024. The region recorded a low temperature of 37 degrees, marking the coldest morning since February 19, when lows reached 35 degrees. This sudden chill was attributed to effective cold air advection following a front that passed through the area the day prior. As the temperatures plummeted, they were noted to be up to 30 degrees colder compared to the warmer temperatures observed on Monday morning. Forecasts indicate that this fluctuation in temperatures will continue throughout the week, with a strong cold front expected to arrive on Wednesday afternoon. This front is anticipated to reduce the current high temperatures near 80 degrees to the low 50s by Thanksgiving day. Thanksgiving is projected to be cool and cloudy, but thankfully dry, making it suitable for family gatherings and holiday plans. Nonetheless, those traveling during this time might consider packing for varying weather conditions as temperatures are predicted to continue their rollercoaster behavior. There is a possibility of widespread freezing temperatures on Thanksgiving night into early Friday morning, prompting the First Alert Weather team to issue a warning for freezing conditions. As December approaches, it is likely that cooler air will persist in North Texas, with forecasts suggesting that high temperatures will remain in the 50s to low 60s during the first week of the month. Residents are advised to stay updated on weather alerts, as the potential for freezing temperatures could impact outdoor activities and travel plans over the holiday period.
