The Freeze Warning has been expanded south to include the rest of the Central Texas counties for Sunday night into Monday morning. Temperatures will dip down into the upper 20s and lower 30s, resulting in the coldest morning of the season so far. Be sure to bundle up, and be mindful of pets and plants that are outside!

Much colder air will continue to spread across the region today aided by gusty northwesterly winds, keeping high temperatures in the upper 50s and lower 60s. The strongest wind gusts will be from the late-morning into the mid-afternoon, with gusts of 30 to 40 mph possible, particularly across the DFW Metroplex and portions of Central Texas.

The coldest temperatures of the season so far have arrived with the latest cold front. North and Central Texans will see lows ranging from the upper-20s to the mid-30s. Tuesday morning won't be as cold, but still chilly with lows again in the 30s to near 40 degrees. Be sure to dress appropriately for the morning commutes, bring pets indoors, and protective sensitive plants!

After our brief cold spell, temperatures will warm well above average again for the middle and end of next week. Highs will range anywhere from the 70s into the low 80s. Very low humidity levels and gusty winds on Tuesday will also create elevated fire weather concerns along and west of the I-35 corridor, as vegetation begins to dry out and become dormant heading into the end of fall/winter.
