Above-average temperatures will persist across North Texas through the rest of the week and into the weekend, but an unsettled pattern will keep thunderstorm threats in the forecast.
Highs for Wednesday through Friday will reach the upper-70s as a cold front stalls over the region. Lows each day will hover around the mid-60s mark. North Texans can expect breezy to windy conditions through the rest of the week.
Wednesday: Isolated showers and storms are possible during the morning, but the main activity arrives in the afternoon and evening with scattered storms developing near the incoming cold front, according to the National Weather Service. All modes of severe weather are possible, including hail less than 2 inches in diameter, damaging winds of 60-70 mph, and a low but non-zero tornado threat. The strongest storms are expected during the afternoon and evening hours, covering about 50% of the metroplex.
Thursday: Additional chances for showers and thunderstorms will continue for about 30% of the area, though severe weather is not expected. Isolated strong storms may approach from the west during the evening, bringing small hail and gusty winds as the primary hazards.
Friday: Another cold front is expected to move through the DFW area in the afternoon and evening, bringing isolated to scattered severe storms capable of producing large hail, damaging winds, and tornadoes. Storm coverage remains somewhat uncertain, estimated at 40%, so continue to monitor for later updates as confidence increases over the next couple of days.
Saturday: The flooding threat increases on Saturday with an 80% chance of precipitation, as more storms are expected to move across the metroplex. The main threats will again be large hail and damaging winds, with the most likely severe window occurring late afternoon through Sunday night. The high for Saturday will be about 10 degrees lower than the midweek temperatures, topping out at about 69 degrees.
