Cold Front Brings Cooler Temperatures and Rain to North Texas This Weekend A cold front moving through North Texas on Friday will bring gusty winds and a 30% chance of showers to the Dallas-Fort Worth area by 8 p.m. The front is expected to arrive late Friday morning, ushering in significantly cooler temperatures north of the DFW region, with highs ranging from the mid-60s to upper 70s. North winds could gust up to 35 mph behind the front. Following the cold front, much cooler temperatures and a slight chance of rain will persist. Overnight lows are projected to drop into the 40s and 50s, with a 30% chance of showers in the DFW area around 8 p.m. Saturday will remain cool, with highs in the low to mid-60s and a 20% to 40% chance of light showers in the morning. However, rainfall totals are expected to be minimal. By Sunday, south winds and sunshine will return, pushing highs back into the low 80s. Looking ahead, a ridge of high pressure will shift east next week, allowing disturbances to the west to bring rain chances back to North Texas. Highs on Monday and Tuesday could approach 90 degrees. Tree pollen levels in the region remain very high, while ragweed levels are moderate. Mold and grass pollen levels are currently low. During peak tree pollen season, experts advise keeping windows and doors closed, especially on windy days. Residents should avoid outdoor activities in the early morning and shower after coming indoors to reduce exposure. Allergy medication can also help alleviate symptoms, according to AccuWeather. The forecast highlights the transition from recent warm weather to cooler conditions, with rain chances lingering through Sunday. Residents are encouraged to monitor updates and take precautions, particularly regarding pollen exposure.#cold_front #accuweather #north_texas #dallasfortworth #tree_pollen
