NORTH TEXAS — Thursday brought delightful conditions with gentle breezes and temperatures reaching the 70s. Significant shifts are on the horizon as we move into the next week, indicating that this pattern is unlikely to persist for much longer.
Friday will mirror Thursday but anticipate cooler mornings and a shift in winds, now blowing from the southeast at approximately 5 to 10 mph. Overnight, expect a drop in temperature as clear skies and gentle breezes allow for effective heat loss. The surface warmth will lead to brisk temperatures dipping into the 40s on Friday morning.
With clear skies expected on Friday, temperatures are set to rise into the 70s by the afternoon. The temperatures for Saturday and Sunday are expected to rise, bringing warmer conditions.
Expect an increase in Gulf moisture across the area as winds from the southeast flow in throughout the weekend. Expect robust to intense thunderstorms developing in the western counties on Sunday evening, spreading across much of North Texas into Monday.
A strong cold front is set to pass through, bringing with it a mix of severe weather and significant rainfall, raising the possibility of flooding in vulnerable low-lying regions.
A secondary front is anticipated on Wednesday, bringing a notable decrease in temperatures.
On Wednesday, temperatures are expected to reach the 50s thanks to the influence of Pacific air. On Thursday morning, temperatures are anticipated to dip into the low 40s, with some northern counties possibly experiencing upper 30s. Keep an eye out for the most current information.
