Dallas weather: Cold weekend ahead with temps back below freezing

The arctic air has returned to North Texas.

According to the FOX 4 Weather team, Friday morning is expected to be windy and cold. People heading out the door will want to grab a big jacket or wear layers.

The wind will be blowing 20 to 25 miles per hour, driving wind-chills to the low-to-mid teens! It could even feel like the single digits up around the Red River.

Temperatures will only climb a few degrees above freezing by the afternoon. But it will still feel like the 20s through the afternoon because of the wind.
