North Texas Braces for First Freeze as Cold Front Arrives

North Texas is gearing up for significant weather changes this weekend, marked by a First Alert Weather Day on Saturday. Residents can expect rain and gusty winds as a cold front sweeps through the region, bringing a chance of thunderstorms. The system is predicted to bring a swift end to milder temperatures.

Following Saturday's conditions, a sharp decline in temperatures is anticipated. By Sunday morning, lows are forecast to fall near freezing, with daytime highs struggling to reach the 40s. Gusty winds will exacerbate the cold, prompting warnings for residents to dress appropriately for winter conditions. This marks the region's first taste of 40s temperatures this season.

This shift in weather coincides with the beginning of meteorological winter on Monday. A prolonged period of chilly days and cold nights is expected, with lows settling in the 30s for several nights. A cold rain is predicted for Monday, with a possibility of brief sleet mixed in. Another chance for rain is forecasted late Wednesday into Thursday.
