Texas has fluctuated from blizzard conditions to beach weather over the last two weeks, and the pendulum of extremes is set to swing again for parts of the state thanks to an encroaching cold front primed to pass through this weekend.

A cold front sagged south and stalled over parts of North Texas Tuesday, which dropped temperatures back below average for the metroplex while our southeastern counties hung onto the spring-like temperatures.

Near-record heat is in the forecast for North Texas through mid-week, then a cold front arrives over the weekend.

A couple of cold fronts will impact North Texas this week, but the cooler air associated with these fronts will remain north of the Dallas-Fort Worth area. As a result, we will have to wait until late Saturday for the next significant cool-down.
