Texas – Low clouds are hanging over Dallas this morning, but the quiet start won’t last long. Storms are already lining up to the west, and conditions will shift quickly into a more active pattern by afternoon.
According to the National Weather Service in Fort Worth, a slight chance of early showers will give way to increasing thunderstorm activity later today, with temperatures climbing to around 86°F and south winds gusting up to 30 mph.
Across Dallas, Fort Worth, and surrounding areas like Arlington and Plano, the midday hours may stay mostly dry. By late afternoon, storms begin to develop and could intensify quickly. Drivers on I-35, I-20, and Highway 75 should prepare for sudden downpours, lightning, and reduced visibility.
Storm chances increase further into tonight, with more widespread coverage and heavier rain expected. Gusty winds and isolated stronger storms could impact travel and outdoor plans, especially during the evening hours.
The unsettled pattern continues into Thursday with additional storms early, followed by a brief break. Another round builds Friday and intensifies into Saturday, when storm chances climb to near 90 percent. Expect wet roads, possible delays, and repeated rainfall across North Texas.
By Sunday, conditions improve with partial sunshine and highs near 70°F. Looking ahead, warmer and quieter spring weather is expected to return early next week.
With a volatile stretch ahead, now is the time to stay weather-aware. Keep alerts on and plan around shifting conditions.
