Rain will finally return to north Texas, but not until Friday. In the meantime, we have a couple of more relatively nice days ahead.
Wednesday morning begins with temperatures mainly in the 40s, there are a few readings in the 30s east of the Dallas-Fort Worth area. The wind is relatively light so we're not dealing with wind chills this morning. Nothing is on the weather radar as well, but skies are cloudy across a good chunk of the area.
We'll have lots of high clouds around here over the next couple of days with afternoon highs in the low 60s. There will be some rain moving close to the Dallas-Fort Worth area on Thursday, but most of it will stay well to the west of I-35W.

A strong area of low pressure in the upper levels of the atmosphere continues to spin in the desert southwest. This upper-level low will track along Interstate 40 today through Friday. By late Friday, this upper-level low will be around Oklahoma City. This will help drag all the moisture currently in West Texas and the Panhandle in our direction. This area of rain will cruise across north Texas on Friday. Plan on a messy Friday morning commute. Rain will press east of DFW by late afternoon. Average rainfall totals will be around one inch. Some areas may pick up a little bit more than that from Dallas and areas to the east. Severe weather is not a threat. Temperatures will start off in the mid-50s early in the morning and drop into the upper 40s by afternoon.
Clouds will be slow to move out on Saturday with some areas of drizzle through late morning. Afternoon highs will top out in the low 50s.
