North Texas Weekend Forecast: Warm, Sunny, and Breezy – With a Mid-Week Storm Watch
Get ready for a delightfully warm and breezy afternoon across North Texas today, with high temperatures climbing into the lower to mid 80s under mostly sunny skies. A gusty south breeze stays up through the daylight hours.
The warm and breezy conditions stick around all weekend long. Saturday and Sunday will both feature wall-to-wall sunshine with highs in the low to mid 80s – unusually warm for mid-November, but certainly welcome for anyone looking to enjoy the outdoors. Mornings will start mild in the upper 50s to low 60s, warming quickly after sunrise. Whether you’re doing some early holiday shopping, raking leaves, or just soaking up the sun, conditions will be near ideal.
Friday evening is shaping up beautifully for any after-work or weekend kickoff plans. As the sun sets, temperatures will ease through the 70s with clear skies and a gentle breeze – perfect for dinner on a patio, or a stroll on The Katy Trail.
Looking ahead, the dry and warm pattern holds through the early part of next week. However, a shift arrives by midweek – currently targeting Wednesday into Thursday – as a potent storm system approaches from the west. This system has the potential to bring the first widespread rain in weeks, with scattered strong to severe thunderstorms possible, especially across central and eastern parts of North Texas.
Along with gusty winds and hail in the stronger storms, heavy rainfall will be a concern. Some areas could see 1–3 inches of rain in a short time, raising the risk of localized flash flooding, particularly in low-lying spots, urban areas with poor drainage, and along creeks and streams.
For now, enjoy the sunshine and warmth while it lasts – North Texas is in for a gorgeous, late summer-like weekend before Mother Nature reminds us it’s still storm season.
