Here’s a look at the Saturday evening planner for the DFW Metroplex.
March 2026
Tonight’s DFW Forecast
A few lingering showers and storms remain possible early this evening across the Metroplex, but rain chances will taper off overnight. Skies stay mostly cloudy with north winds easing, and it will turn cooler by morning. Expect lows in the upper 40s around Dallas and Fort Worth, with some mid 40s in our northern counties.
Sunday brings a nice rebound. Sunshine returns with light winds and afternoon highs climbing into the lower 70s. It will be a pleasant end to the weekend and a great day to be outside.
Clouds increase again Sunday night with a few late-night showers or thunderstorms possible. By Monday, we turn warmer and more humid with highs pushing into the lower 80s. Spotty showers can’t be ruled out, but better rain chances arrive Tuesday. Widespread showers and thunderstorms look likely Tuesday afternoon into Tuesday night, which could impact travel with periods of heavy rain. Rain chances linger into Wednesday before cooler, drier air settles in late week. Highs drop back into the 60s and 70s with sunshine returning Thursday and Friday.
Plan for wet roads at times Tuesday into early Wednesday.

Rainy Start to Saturday Across North Texas; Strong Storms Possible South of DFW
Good Saturday morning, North Texas!
It’s been a wet start to the day across the region with multiple rounds of rain, including periods of heavy rainfall overnight and early this morning. Another round of rain is continuing to push southeast across North Texas and will likely linger through the late morning and into parts of the afternoon.
Rainfall totals across the Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex have been locally excessive at times, prompting several flash flood warnings overnight. Some roads may still have standing water this morning, so use caution if you’re heading out. Remember the rule: Turn Around, Don’t Drown. Just a few inches of moving water can sweep a vehicle away.
The wet weather is being driven by a cold front moving through the region. As the front continues to slide southeast through North Texas this afternoon, the focus for additional thunderstorm development will gradually shift south of the Dallas–Fort Worth area.
While widespread severe weather is not expected, a few storms could become strong to severe, mainly south of the Metroplex later today. The primary threats would be hail up to half-dollar size and wind gusts approaching 60 mph. Lightning and brief heavy rainfall will also accompany any thunderstorms that develop.
Behind the front, conditions will begin to improve tonight.
Sunday looks much quieter. Skies will clear out and temperatures will turn a bit cooler, with afternoon highs generally in the 70s across North Texas. It should be a pleasant end to the weekend.
The break in the rain will be short-lived, though. Another storm system arrives early next week, bringing renewed chances for showers and thunderstorms Monday into Tuesday. It’s still early, but some of those storms could again become strong to severe depending on how the atmosphere evolves.
We’ll continue to fine-tune that forecast over the next couple of days. -William
