It's the end of April, early May, which means it's time to stay weather aware. There will be several chances of strong to severe storms in the forecast over the next 48 hours across North Texas.
Tuesday began with mild and muggy conditions with low cloud cover, breezy conditions, and temperatures in the low 70s.
Gulf moisture will continue to move northbound throughout Tuesday as the dry line rejuvenates to the west. Through the afternoon, widespread supercells will develop along the dry line and move east-northeast through the evening. These individual cells will likely form a small line of severe storms that will impact areas north of Interstate 30 late Tuesday. Damaging winds, large hail, and isolated tornadoes are potential threats. Heavy rain is also a concern for Red River counties, where a Flood Watch is in effect until Thursday morning. Afternoon highs will reach the low 80s.

The atmosphere will rejuvenate itself during the first half of Wednesday, with only a few showers present in the morning. Low temperatures will again be in the low 70s, with afternoon highs reaching the low 80s. The dry line west of DFW will become active again in the afternoon, leading to the development of scattered supercells. These storms will bring large hail, damaging winds, and a few tornadoes. The storms will move east through the late afternoon and evening, eventually forming a line of storms that will move through the area and head southeast of North Texas after sunset.

A weak cold front will move through Wednesday evening, taking the storms with it. Thursday will be dry, with slightly lower humidity and afternoon highs reaching the low to mid-80s.

The atmosphere will become active again Thursday night into the first half of Friday as another cold front moves through the area. Severe weather is possible throughout the day, with temperatures cooler and readings in the low 70s. The storm threat will shift south of us by late afternoon and evening.
The forecast looks decent for the next week, but it depends on where the cold front stalls. One thing is certain: areas of Texas that need rain, such as the Hill Country, will benefit from this stalled front over the weekend. Temperatures will hover in the 70s.
We will start off quiet next week, but more active weather is possible by the middle of next week.
