Drew Davis looks ahead to cooler days in North Texas

WFAA's detailed forecast also makes room for Red River Rivalry weather, an allergy check and the dad jokes viewers keep mentioning.

Cold Front to Bring Much Cooler Temps and Storm Chances | DFW Weather

Drew Davis' cold-front forecast drew more than 37,000 views in its first 12 hours, an unusually large audience for a WFAA upload. The station's typical video gets fewer than a thousand views on its first day.

The attraction is a forecast of much cooler temperatures and storm chances for Dallas-Fort Worth. Davis walks through weather models, radar and satellite imagery before laying out the days ahead. It's a more extended look than a quick temperature update, with a football forecast for the Red River Rivalry, a live allergy count and a two-week outlook all on the itinerary.

WFAA's separate October 10 forecast says temperatures will remain above normal for the next several days, so the cooler turn is something Davis is looking ahead to, not a declaration that the heat is already over.

The comments also pick up on the person delivering the forecast. Viewers mention Davis laughing at his own jokes, and one specifically asks him to keep the fungus-themed wordplay and dad phrases coming. Alongside the weather models, that running humor gives this forecast its own recognizable voice.
