A little bit of this and a little bit of that! Those are your weather stories over the next 7 days across North Texas. If you're lucky, you could see a little bit of rain before lunchtime.
Good morning, my friends and followers, and welcome to almost Friday! It's been a very quiet winter so far, with above-average temperatures and below-average precipitation. Unfortunately, that pattern will continue for the foreseeable future. However, a strong cold front will plow through the area late tomorrow evening, dropping temperatures to near seasonal norms, briefly into the weekend.
Believe it or not, we're waking up to temperatures in the mid to upper 60s at this hour. It feels more like spring out there. We have a low cloud deck that's moved in from the Gulf, and these low clouds will stick around through mid-afternoon. I am tracking an area of showers and storms that are forming just off to the west of Highway 277, about 200 miles away from DFW. Unfortunately, these are shooting northeast into Oklahoma. However, over the past hour or two, this line has been back-building a little bit south of Interstate 20. This being said, I wouldn't be surprised to see a thin line of showers and storms cruising across the northern half of North Texas before noon. If you live south of Interstate 20, you may see a few showers, but nothing measurable. The skies should clear by this afternoon, with afternoon highs shooting up into the mid to upper 70s. It will be a very windy day as well.
Most of tomorrow is uneventful, with afternoon highs near 70 degrees. But before midnight tomorrow, a strong cold front will plow through the area. Unfortunately, DFW stays rain-free, however, there may be some showers and storms forming about 50 to 80 miles southeast of us tomorrow during the day. These will be shooting off to the east, where severe weather is possible across parts of Dixie tomorrow into Saturday.
You'll wake up Saturday morning with a north wind of 15 to 25 mph and temperatures ranging between 35 and 42 degrees. Plenty of sunshine will dominate Saturday afternoon, with highs seasonable in the mid-50s.
There will be a light freeze Sunday morning north of the Dallas-Fort Worth area. I'm thinking we'll drop to about 34 degrees, with sunshine. It will be sunny and 57 degrees for Sunday afternoon.
Temperatures fall back into the 30s for Monday morning, with highs creeping close to 60 degrees. Loads of 60s are expected by Tuesday and Wednesday, with morning lows in the 40s. It will feel a little bit more like winter, but not too bad.
That's a look at your weather on this cloudy and muggy Thursday morning. I hope everyone has an awesome day today and enjoys the weather when they can; it's the only weather you've got!
