Dallas, Texas – North and Central Texas will see a brief midweek chance for rain before a stretch of hot, dry weather takes hold heading into the weekend. Scattered storms are possible Wednesday afternoon in Central Texas, while the Dallas-Fort Worth area will face only isolated activity. Highs will climb into the mid to upper 90s, with heat building steadily through Sunday.

According to the National Weather Service in Fort Worth, Wednesday brings a 15% to 20% rain chance for areas near the Metroplex, increasing to 30% to 40% toward Waco, Temple, and Killeen. Storms may produce brief downpours and lightning but will be short-lived. By Thursday, most locations will turn dry as temperatures rise toward the upper 90s.

Drivers should watch for slick roads during heavier showers Wednesday, especially in the Waco area, and limit outdoor activity during peak afternoon heat later in the week. Hydration and light, breathable clothing are recommended.

The region’s dry pattern is expected to continue through the weekend, with highs near or just under triple digits. More rain chances could return early next week if Gulf moisture pushes inland.
