A prolonged period of severe weather is expected to impact North Texas over the next four days. Although not everyone will experience severe storms, it is essential to remain vigilant.
A cold front was draped across the northwestern half of North Texas on Friday morning and will continue to move northward, bringing back the warm and muggy weather. Friday morning, temperatures were in the 70s in DFW, 60s to our northwest. We can expect to reach the 90-degree mark later this afternoon. After 4 p.m., widespread strong to severe storms are expected to develop southeast of the Sherman-to-Fort Worth-to-Granbury line, potentially producing large hail, damaging winds, and isolated tornadoes. These storms should exit North Texas by mid-evening, with the northwestern half of the region remaining dry.
On Saturday and Sunday, the weather will start pleasantly during the first half of each day, but more showers and storms will develop after 3 or 4 p.m., primarily northwest of the Dallas-Fort Worth area. These storms will be capable of producing large hail, damaging winds, and isolated tornadoes, moving southeast through the Dallas-Fort Worth area and exiting by mid-evening. Afternoon highs are expected to reach the 90-degree mark on both days.
Another chance of late afternoon and evening showers and storms is forecasted for Monday, with all modes of severe weather possible, although the tornado threat is low. These storms may be confined to areas along and north of Interstate 20 between 4 p.m. and 10 p.m. Afternoon highs will top out near 90 degrees.
The main system is expected to shift east of the Dallas-Fort Worth area by early Tuesday, bringing an end to the storm threat and allowing a strong cold front to move through the area by lunchtime. Much drier air will filter into the region, along with cooler temperatures, for Wednesday and Thursday. Morning lows will dip into the 50s, with afternoon highs only reaching the mid-70s on Wednesday and returning to near 80 on Thursday.
