FOX 4 Weather Meteorologist Kylie Capps gives an update on possible severe storms in the forecast for North Texas on Wednesday night.
Wednesday morning will remain mostly quiet with a 20% chance of light rain. But, a stalled front over North Texas is expected to spark strong to severe storms tonight. The primary window for activity is between 4 p.m. and 2 a.m.
The main concerns for Wednesday are wind gusts between 50 and 60 mph and hail roughly the size of quarters. While the tornado potential remains low, it cannot be ruled out. Some isolated gusts could reach up to 65 mph.
LIVE Radar: Dallas-Fort Worth
Thursday & Friday Forecast: Severe Threats Continue
Expect a lull in activity for much of Thursday and Friday, with only scattered showers in the forecast. Storm coverage and intensity will increase significantly Friday night as a stronger cold front moves into the region, bringing another round of severe weather.
A few storms remain possible Thursday, mainly west of the I-35 corridor, with the potential for small hail and gusty winds.
Weekend Forecast: Flooding and Severe Threats
Thunderstorm activity will intensify Friday, with large hail, damaging winds and a few tornadoes possible across North Texas.
By Saturday, the focus shifts to a rising flood threat. Heavy rain will fall on already saturated soil, increasing the risk of flash flooding. While rain chances remain in the forecast, the exact impact of next week’s precipitation is still being monitored.
Temperatures will stay warm through the end of the week, with mornings in the 60s and afternoon highs reaching the 70s and 80s. Saturday's cold front will eventually drop temperatures into the 50s at night, with afternoon highs in the 60s and low 70s through Sunday.
7-Day Forecast
The National Weather Service notes that flooding potential will likely increase over the weekend due to multiple rounds of heavy rain. Total rainfall amounts are expected to average between 1 and 3 inches from Friday through Monday, though some areas could see higher totals.
There is a secondary potential for severe weather on Tuesday, but confidence in that system remains low at this time.
