Dallas, TX – A damp, gray sky hangs over Dallas this morning as the first wave of late-fall storms builds across North Texas. The air feels heavy and mild now, but that will change quickly as rain, gusty winds, and a cool-down sweep through by Saturday.
According to the National Weather Service in Fort Worth, scattered showers and a few thunderstorms will develop later today, becoming more widespread this evening. Gusts up to 25 mph may accompany the heaviest rain, with brief downpours and reduced visibility along I-35 and I-30. Residents planning post-Thanksgiving travel should anticipate slick roads and possible delays through Saturday morning.
Saturday brings the storm’s peak, with periods of rain and a chance of thunderstorms before drier air moves in late afternoon. Temperatures will briefly touch 70°F before winds shift northwest, ushering in a cooler and less humid air mass. By Sunday, skies clear and the air turns crisp, with highs near 45°F — perfect for outdoor errands or early holiday decorating after a soggy start to the weekend.
Looking ahead, Monday stays cool and mostly dry, while early December brings another temperature swing. Models hint at a stronger front midweek, possibly triggering more showers and a noticeable chill across North and Central Texas.
