What to Wear in Arlington in February
February in Arlington, Texas is mild but unpredictable — temperatures from 41°F to 62°F with about 7 rainy days and the occasional winter ice storm that can shut down the DFW Metroplex with more disruption than northern cities handle more casually. Medium-weight layering is the practical approach: a mid-weight jacket or peacoat over a sweater and jeans handles both the cool mornings and the mild afternoons around the entertainment district and the Rangers' spring training preparation season. A packable rain layer manages the frequent February precipitation.
