North Texans can expect rain over the next two days, accompanied by a slight risk of severe storms, including hail and strong winds.
Tuesday will be warm and muggy in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, with temperatures forecasted to reach about 91 degrees by midafternoon. The best chance for rain will be in the evening and overnight hours, according to the National Weather Service in Fort Worth.
There is a 30% chance of isolated thunderstorms between 7 p.m. and 10 p.m. on Tuesday. These storms carry a slight risk of hail and strong winds and a low risk of tornadoes.
This line of storms will be followed by a cold front pushing in from the west, generating a greater chance of storms and severe weather from about midnight to 4 a.m. About 70% of the metroplex will experience rain and thunderstorms, which could be accompanied by large hail and damaging winds. The storms could lead to localized flooding in some areas, with new rainfall amounts between 1 and 2 inches.
The storms will clear out of the metroplex by midmorning on Wednesday, leaving behind partly cloudy skies on Wednesday and Thursday. The high temperature on Wednesday is expected to reach about 83 degrees, and Thursday will see a high of about 88. Overnight lows on both days will be in the low to mid-70s.
Friday is forecast to be a warm, sunny day with a high of around 93 degrees and an overnight low of 75.
A 30% chance of showers and thunderstorms returns to the metroplex over the weekend, with highs in the low 90s on Saturday and Sunday and lows in the low 70s.
