Happy Friday, North Texas!<\/strong> It\u2019s another cloudy and mild start to the morning across the Metroplex. While we are starting with a thick deck of clouds, expect a mix of sun and clouds by the afternoon as temperatures climb rapidly into the low to mid-80s area-wide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The big story today\u2014aside from the heat\u2014will be the wind. A deepening low-pressure system to our north will ramp up our southerly flow. Expect a breezy afternoon with sustained winds between 15\u201320 mph and peak gusts potentially exceeding 30 mph. If you\u2019re out on the area lakes or driving a high-profile vehicle, keep a firm grip on the wheel!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our eyes are fixed on a powerful cold front currently diving south out of Kansas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • The Arrival:<\/strong> The front is progged to reach our northwestern counties around 1 AM to 2 AM and sweep through the DFW Metroplex between 3 AM and 6 AM. * The Threat: A line of showers and thunderstorms will accompany the boundary. While the overall severe risk is on the lower end, a few storms could become “robust.” Our primary concern will be damaging wind gusts up to 60 mph and perhaps some small hail.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Lingering Rain:<\/strong> Expect showers and isolated thunderstorms to linger, especially south of I-20, through Saturday afternoon.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Saturday: A Sharp Saturday Shock<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Saturday is going to be a completely different story. We trade the 80s for a brisk north wind and highs struggling to leave the 60s. It\u2019s going to be a damp, chilly day\u2014a perfect excuse to stay inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Extended Look<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • Sunday:<\/strong> We start the morning on a chilly note with lows in the 30s and 40s. However, we\u2019ll rebound nicely for a comfortable, partly cloudy afternoon with highs back in the upper 60s to near 70.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Next Week:<\/strong> Highs will hold in the 70s to start the week before rebounding into the 80s by Wednesday. We are keeping an eye on some slight shower chances (10\u201320%) early in the week, but nothing meaningful is expected at this time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
