Far-reaching weather this weekend for Nordtexas-NBC 5 Dallas-Fort value

What happened this week?

This week brought a very frustrating forecast to North Texas, which led to a variety of temperatures in the entire region. For some, the forecast was exactly right, while for others it was outside the track. Why? The culprit is an oscillating front.

In simple words, an oscillating front is one that shifts back and forth over a certain area and alternately air masses such as warm, moist air or cool, dry air. An oscillating cold front moves south, then to a standstill, in order to only withdraw to the north as a warm front, which leads to a shift of cool temperatures. This back and forth movement can lead to a significant temperature difference in northern textas, whereby the measured values ​​from the 50s and low 60s to almost 80 degrees vary.

The challenge of prediction is to predict three key factors:

1. How far the colder air will reach from the cold front.
2. When the front withdraws north and enables us to warm up.
3. Which areas will experience warming up by the end of the day.

That is why forecasts can sometimes miss the brand!

What’s next?

This weekend will bring what we call “history of two seasons”. On Saturday, it is expected that Spring-Early will bring almost a record heat with a forecast high of 84 degrees, which in 1962 only set a record of 85 degrees.

The temperatures will fall on Sunday, with a last cold air arriving by the end of the weekend. High temperatures on Sunday only climb into the upper 40s and low 50s.

If we enter into the beginning of the next week, you need the umbrella again. Showers are expected as normal temperatures.
