We know the question on your mind, Dallasites — when’s it going to get cold?
Thanks to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Climate Prediction Center, we know what temperatures and precipitation trends to expect in our city for December, January, and February.
While exact weather conditions typically can’t be predicted more than a week in advance, here’s a seasonal outlook to help you prepare for what winter will bring.
Reminder: The first day of winter is on Saturday, Dec. 21.
Temperature
Think warm. This winter, Dallas has a 33-40% chance of temperatures being higher than normal.
Precipitation
Dallas has a 40-50% chance of seeing below normal average snow and rainfall amounts this winter.
Drought
Drought conditions are expected to persist this season. October 2024 was the sixth driest October on record for Dallas County in the last 130 years, with rainfall 3.13 inches below normal.
Decem-brrrrr
The first month of winter generally brings an average high temperature of 61° and low of 41°. Pro tip: December has the least sunshine of the year with an average of 5.7 hours a day, so grab your sunshine break at one of our many parks as often as you can.
