TEXAS — A calm, golden sunrise spreads over the Metroplex this Wednesday morning, glinting off dew-covered lawns and quiet streets. The stillness feels like a setup — that familiar North Texas pause before another weather shift rolls through. Warm air builds today, but by the end of the week, rain and thunderstorms could return to the Dallas–Fort Worth area, marking a noticeable change in the pattern.
The National Weather Service in Fort Worth reports mostly sunny skies today with highs around 82°F and light south winds. It’s a dry and pleasant start for midweek errands, commutes, and outdoor work. But by Thursday, clouds begin thickening, signaling the approach of deeper Gulf moisture.
Rain chances start late Thursday and ramp up through Friday. Models indicate the best window for showers and thunderstorms stretches from Friday morning through early Saturday, particularly along the I-35 corridor from Denton to Waco. Some storms could deliver brief downpours and gusty winds, though severe weather is not a strong concern at this time.
Still, those with Friday travel plans or high school football games should stay weather-aware. Roads could become slick during evening commutes, and lightning delays are possible at outdoor venues.
By Saturday afternoon, rain begins to taper off with highs dipping into the mid-70s. Sunday turns mostly sunny again, offering a crisp and comfortable end to the weekend — a brief breather before another system may approach early next week.
