Texas weather is always chaotic, but this year meteorologists are certain it’ll be a jacket and gloves kind of holiday on Thursday. Thank God because if we can’t even wear sweaters at Thanksgiving, they might as well stay in the closet all year.
The National Weather Service forecasts a strong cold front will surge through the Great Plains region on Wednesday afternoon. Areas like Lubbock will see wind gusts up to 40 miles per hour and wake up to the possibility of snow flurries and sprinkles on Thursday, according to KLBK meteorologists. (Wait, should we all move to Lubbock??)
The front will bring the coldest air of the season to North Texas, per WFAA. Temperatures are forecast to dramatically drop from a high of 79 degrees on Wednesday to lows of 39 degrees in some parts of the DFW area on Thursday. (Sorry folks, no snow there, but expect a frigid morning for those of us who thought it was a good idea to run the Turkey Trot.)
Central Texas, Houston, El Paso, and the Rio Grande Valley will all see pretty mediocre weather — and some areas could see record heat. But the bottom half of the state will still see temperatures staying in the low 60s on Thursday. That’s plenty low enough for what northerners call a “summer cashmere.”
Hope y’all are ready for sweater weather!
