Texas – Warm air is already settling over Dallas this morning, and by midday, it will feel more like early summer than late March. Temperatures push toward 87°F with steady south winds, setting the stage for a sharp shift as storm energy builds across North Texas.
According to the National Weather Service in Dallas/Fort Worth, winds will gust between 25 and 30 mph through the day, increasing moisture and instability. That setup supports thunderstorms developing by late Wednesday night, with a 70% chance of rain and lightning across the region.
Across Dallas, Fort Worth, and Arlington, today stays dry but breezy. High-profile vehicles on I-35 and I-20 may feel crosswinds during the afternoon. By midweek, conditions change quickly. Showers and storms move in after dark, bringing brief downpours and lightning that could impact late-night travel and early commutes the next day.
Thursday keeps the unsettled pattern going, with more storms possible before midday and highs near 85°F. Localized ponding on roads may develop during heavier bursts of rain. Keep an umbrella handy and allow extra travel time, especially during peak traffic hours.
By Friday, rain chances ease slightly, but scattered storms still linger into the evening. Saturday brings a more organized round of showers with a 70% chance of rain and cooler air settling in.
Looking ahead, early April trends warmer again, hinting at a return to classic spring warmth across Texas.
