DALLAS — On average October sees the biggest drop in normal high temperatures and it is the 2nd wettest month of the year. Will the second half of the month reflect that?
Let's dive into that with a look at what's to come weather-wise these next few days.
Quick look ahead:
- Cool mornings, warm afternoons through the weekend
- Low humidity and no significant rain in North Texas through the weekend
- A stronger cold front arrives next week
Warm and dry week
An early week cold front brought in drier air that will stick around for the week and this weekend.
Temps will stay above normal, especially during the afternoon, with highs in the upper 80s to low 90s. Even though it will be warm, it will feel better outside due to the lower humidity.
Afternoon temps will climb with 90s making a return heading into the weekend.
The low humidity will also keep mornings feeling cooler to comfy as well. Lows in the 50s and 60s are likely.
Okay, when will fall-like weather arrive in North Texas?
A stronger cold front could arrive as early as next week! The ridge of high pressure responsible for bringing the warm and rain-free days will move west and weaken. This will allow a new system to bring in a cold front on Monday. As of right now, rain does not look likely with this system. Cooler weather with highs in the 70s will be possible with morning lows in the 50s and low humidity. Much more fall-like!
Any rain chances?
Unfortunately, there aren't any rain chances headed our way any time soon.
In fact, most of Texas (and the country for that matter) will stay dry through next weekend.
Florida will get quite the soaking from Hurricane Milton.
But we need the rain!
The latest drought monitor in North Texas shows we're in a fairly widespread moderate to severe drought. All was going so well until the summer! And it's only gotten worse since June. The good news? On average, North Texas sees 4.37 inches of rain in October, making it one of the wettest months of the year. The bad news? The first half of the month looks like it'll be dry.
