“Dallas weather: Temperatures plunge this weekend after arctic front,” Dallas Morning News' Lana Ferguson — “Temperatures will plummet Saturday in North Texas as an arctic cold front pushes through, days ahead of when light snow is expected.
There will be multiple days of frigid, dangerously cold weather as morning wind chills will be in the single digits and teens, according to the National Weather Service in Fort Worth. |

The cold will begin intensifying Sunday before the coldest weather of the season settles in either Monday or Tuesday, according to the KXAS-TV (NBC5) forecast.
Throughout the weekend into early next week, highs will only climb into the 30s.
There’s a possibility high temperatures on Monday will remain below freezing. The probability is higher in northwest counties. |

Light snow and flurries are expected overnight Monday into Tuesday, but the weather service said most areas of North Texas won’t have impacts. The wintry precipitation will likely only leave behind a dusting of snow — or no accumulation at all.

SATURDAY: Mostly sunny, windy and colder. Low: 39. High: 46. Wind: NW 15-25 mph with higher gusts.
