Tonight’s DFW Forecast

Quiet weather continues tonight across Dallas-Fort Worth. Skies will turn mostly clear overnight with a mild south breeze, and temperatures will only fall into the upper 60s.

Friday stays warm and a bit breezy with a mix of clouds and sun. Highs will reach the lower to middle 80s, and south winds will pick up through the afternoon with a few gusts near 30 mph. Most of the day looks dry, but rain chances begin to increase Friday night as a front approaches. Scattered showers and a few thunderstorms are expected to develop late Friday night and continue into Saturday.

Saturday will feel dramatically different, with temperatures holding in the mid 60s and a cooler north wind settling in. Periods of rain and a few storms are possible through at least part of the day before drying begins Saturday night. Sunday looks much better with sunshine and highs in the low 70s.

Early next week stays fairly quiet, but a few spotty showers could return Monday into Tuesday, followed by a warming trend back to around 80 by Wednesday.

Plan for wet roads late Friday night into Saturday, along with a sharp cool-down heading into the weekend.

After the Hail: A Hot Thursday Before the Weekend Big Chill

Good Thursday morning, North Texas! We are cleaning up after a very active Wednesday evening. While much of the Metroplex stayed dry, our western and northern counties took the brunt of the action. Radar estimates and ground reports confirmed hail larger than golf balls in our western counties, and rainfall was generous – many spots picked up a solid 1″ to 3″ of rain. Denton County saw some great totals, though the rest of the DFW area mostly saw spotty, light showers.

Today & Friday: Turning Up the Heat

If you thought the last few days were muggy, hold on to your hat. Today will be warmer, more humid, and definitely breezy.

  • The Highs: Expect temperatures to push into the upper 80s, with some spots hitting 90°.
  • The Dryline: We are watching the West Texas dryline again this evening. While a “cap” (warm air aloft) should keep most of us dry, there is a slim 10% chance of a stray thunderstorm breaking through in our far western counties.
  • Friday: Expect a “carbon copy” of today—hot, breezy, and humid with highs in the mid-to-upper 80s.

The Weekend “Shock”: Saturday’s Cold Front

Saturday is a completely different story. A fast-moving, powerful cold front will sweep across North Texas on Saturday morning, and it’s going to bring a big reality check.

  • The Timing: Expect a line of showers and thunderstorms to accompany the front Saturday morning.
  • The Threats: While the overall severe risk is low, we are watching for a marginal risk of gusty winds as the line pushes south. Some small “post-frontal” hail isn’t out of the question either.
  • The Temperatures: Say goodbye to the 80s. Temperatures will crash into the 60s behind the front and stay there all afternoon, made to feel even cooler by a brisk north wind.

Looking Ahead: An Active Pattern Returns

The front clears out the heat, but it doesn’t totally clear the radar. We are tracking scattered rain chances returning early next week. While we aren’t expecting severe weather with that early-week activity, another round of more significant rain and storm chances is already showing up for the following weekend.
