Texas – Warm air and steady south winds are already building across North Texas, setting the stage for storms that could disrupt travel by early Saturday. Roads remain dry for now, but clouds and moisture are quietly increasing across the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
According to the National Weather Service, storm chances rise sharply after 7 a.m. Saturday, with a 60% chance of showers and thunderstorms and rainfall totals between a tenth and quarter inch, with locally higher amounts possible. Winds could gust up to 30 mph, especially during stronger storms.
Dallas, Fort Worth, and surrounding cities will see highs near 85°F today under partly sunny skies. Breezy south winds will make it feel warmer, signaling the incoming system. If you’re traveling along I-35, I-20, or I-30, conditions stay favorable through today but may change quickly by Saturday morning.
Storms develop in waves Saturday, especially between morning and early afternoon. Expect brief downpours, lightning, and slick roads during peak travel hours. Plan extra time and avoid flooded low spots if heavier rain develops.
By Saturday night, skies begin to clear, and cooler air settles in with lows dipping into the upper 40s. Sunday turns calm and sunny, with highs near the low 70s and much lower humidity.
Early next week stays mild, with highs in the low 70s Monday and mid-70s Tuesday under mostly cloudy skies.
