Good Wednesday morning, North Texas. It is a sharply cooler start to the day as we wake up to temperatures primarily in the 50s following yesterday’s cold front.
Today’s Forecast
Mostly cloudy skies will persist through the afternoon with a steady north wind keeping things cool. High temperatures will struggle, stalling in the mid-60s to near 70° – nearly 10 to 15 degrees below our seasonal norms.
Scattered showers remain possible through the afternoon. While the severe threat has diminished for much of North Texas, a few thunderstorms are still possible in our southern and eastern counties near the stalling frontal boundary. Any robust cell that develops in these areas could become severe, with quarter-sized hail and 60 mph wind gusts being the primary concerns.
Looking Ahead
- Thursday: Highs remain pleasant, topping out in the mid-70s under partly cloudy skies with light and variable winds.
- Mother’s Day Weekend: Temperatures quickly rebound. We’ll see highs climbing back into the 80s on Friday and reaching near 90° by Saturday.
- Sunday (Mother’s Day): Our next chance for storms arrives as a weak cold front moves into the region. We are monitoring the potential for scattered thunderstorms, some of which may be strong to severe, so keep an eye on the forecast if you have outdoor plans.
Stay tuned for updates as we track the timing of Sunday’s front.
