The potential for strong-to-severe storms threatens North Texas on Wednesday.

Scattered showers could pop up anytime, even Wednesday morning, though storms pose the greatest danger during afternoon hours.

Forecasters note the severe potential hinges on the position of a dryline to the west, along with whether a cap weakens and clouds thin enough for storms to form. Primary hazards include powerful winds and large hail, especially in Dallas County and Tarrant County.

Conditions improve Thursday and Friday with mostly calm, warm weather. Daytime highs will reach the mid- to upper 80s. Breezes pick up Friday as a cold front nears from the northwest.

Saturday brings a slim chance for an isolated strong or severe storm ahead of the front, followed by brief rainfall as it passes. Cooler air settles in behind, dropping Sunday morning lows into the 40s.

Sunday afternoon rebounds to the lower 70s, ideal for outdoor activities. Showers and storms edge back on Monday before gaining strength on Tuesday.
