Texas – Rain is already falling across Dallas, and thunder is beginning to rumble as storms build strength heading into the afternoon commute.
According to the National Weather Service, showers and thunderstorms continue through today with a 90% chance of rain. Winds could gust up to 25 to 30 mph, and rainfall may exceed a quarter inch in heavier cells.
Across Dallas–Fort Worth, including I-35, US-75, and I-20, drivers should expect slick roads and sudden visibility drops. Brief downpours can overwhelm drainage in low spots. Slow down and allow extra stopping distance.
Storm chances ease slightly tonight, but clouds and humidity linger. By Friday afternoon, another round develops after 1 p.m., with a 40% chance of storms. While scattered, any storm could bring lightning and gusty winds.
The biggest concern shifts to Saturday. Widespread rain and thunderstorms are expected, with a 100% chance of precipitation. Some storms may produce heavy rainfall, increasing the risk for localized flooding, especially in urban areas and along creeks.
Temperatures fall sharply from the mid-80s today into the low 70s by Saturday, ending the brief summer-like feel. Sunday turns quieter with mostly cloudy skies and highs near 71°F, offering a break from active weather.
Looking ahead, conditions stabilize early next week with drier air and gradual warming into the mid-70s. Still, this active spring pattern signals more swings ahead.
Plan around storms, keep devices charged, and avoid flooded roadways. Conditions can change quickly across North Texas.
