Climate
Fall is finally here in DFW! Temperatures are finally dropping in DFW this week and by the end of the week we could see highs of 70’s in DFW! While we will be seeing a break from the heat, we won’t see the cooler temperatures that October typically brings to North Texas. Temperatures are expected to be above average for North Texas this October, which means we will have a lot more 70-80 degree days instead of 60 degree days!
Strong to severe weather is possible for DFW this Wednesday night into Thursday as well. A cold front during midweek is expected to bring heavy rain to much of North Texas, giving some areas as much as 3 inches of rain! Keep an eye out for another WC blog in the next 2 days for details on the Wednesday night storm. Stay weather aware.
