A strong cold front will bring chilly rain to Dallas-Fort Worth, but don’t count on snow

After an almost springlike weekend in North Texas, things are about to change.

A strong cold front is expected to move through Dallas-Fort Worth by Monday afternoon, according to KXAS-TV (NBC5) weather anchor Keisha Burns.

That front will drop high temperatures from the 70s on Monday into the mid-30s by Tuesday morning. The front also will create a chance for rain in North Texas, with the best odds coming late Monday into Tuesday morning, Burns said.

As temperatures drop to near freezing, some areas west and northwest of Dallas-Fort Worth could see a chance for a combination of rain and snow, according to Burns.

“For the rest of us, we will see a cold rain,” she said. “If we do see some snow mixing in, it will be light or nonexistent for North Texas.”

Tuesday afternoon should be dry, but high temperatures are not expected to get out of the 40s, Burns said. By Tuesday evening, Dallas-Fort Worth could see up to 1 inch of rain, according to the National Weather Service.

The front will be strong enough to make the rest of the week pretty chilly. After Tuesday, expect highs in the 50s and lows in the 30s through the weekend, according to Burns.

Here’s what KXAS-TV (NBC5) has in the forecast:

Sunday: 70/48

Monday: 71/59; chance of rain

Tuesday: 48/38; rain

Wednesday: 55/34
