Stormy and possibly severe weather is expected to stay for the remainder of the week.
The National Weather Service in Fort Worth has predicted that there is a chance of some severe storms through the rest of the week into the weekend.
The NWS first predicted the possibility of these storms along with a warming trend earlier this week, as previously reported by The Dallas Express.
The agency predicts that these storms will develop along a dry line. The storms are expected to arrive in the afternoon hours of April 4. Hazards associated with this new system will consist of flooding, large hail, and damaging winds.
The threat of severe weather is expected to decrease as the evening progresses.
No threat of tornados has been defined, but the possibility has not yet been ruled out. Isolated storms are expected to develop along and north of I-20, while a more widespread threat will be issued for areas west and southwest of the metroplex.
The threat of severe weather is expected to persist from April 4 to April 7, and any severe weather will potentially occur during the afternoon hours of each day.
Warm and humid weather is expected to persist across the region into the weekend and into the middle of next week. Temperatures will likely remain in the 80s and 90s across the region, with lows in the 60s and 70s.
Tornado season is already in full swing, having begun in March. Despite the frequency of stormy weather across the region, weather officials have called this season “slower” compared to previous years.
“It’s been a little slower so far. We’ve had other years where we have had a lot more activity, so this has been a little on the quieter side,” Monique Sellers with the NWS in Fort Worth explained to The Dallas Express. “We’ve still had a pretty good amount of storms so far, but maybe not as many tornados.”
Citizens are advised to be vigilant of any weather changes.
