Some areas north and west of Fort Worth hit the freezing point overnight, but those frigid temperatures are expected to give way to much warmer weather Wednesday afternoon.

Most of the area saw temperatures of about 37 degrees, according to the National Weather Service in Fort Worth.

But rural areas of Denton, Parker, Palo Pinto and Wise counties dropped to 32 degrees, according to the weather service.

“These areas barely hit the freezing point” said Jason Dunn, a weather service meteorologist. “Though it didn’t last, this was the coldest day this fall.”

The morning dew is expected to quickly evaporate as temperatures climb to nearly 70 degrees after lunch, the weather service said.

Rain returns to the forecast Thursday night and during the day Friday. The chance of rain increases from 40 percent Thursday night to 60 percent Friday.

High temperatures for the next seven days are expected to remain near 70 while lows are expected to stay between 40 and 45 degrees.
