Fort Worth, Texas – After a week of multiple rounds of storms, Texas will enjoy a short reprieve this weekend, with mild temperatures, cool mornings, and plenty of sunshine. According to the National Weather Service, Saturday and Sunday will feature below-normal temperatures, perfect for outdoor activities. However, residents should enjoy the calm weather while they can—active weather is expected to return next week, bringing with it a higher risk of severe storms and flooding.
In the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex and surrounding areas, temperatures will hover in the low-to-mid 70s through Sunday, with sunny skies. But Monday marks the return of rain chances, with a 20% risk of showers. By Tuesday, a 100% chance of rain is predicted, potentially adding 1 to 4 inches to the already-soaked ground. Areas such as Bowle, Sherman, and portions of central North Texas are expected to be especially vulnerable to flooding.
Central Texas, including Waco and Killeen, will experience similarly mild weather this weekend, with daytime highs near 75°F. However, by Monday, those in Waco and Temple should prepare for storms, with rain continuing through Thursday. The region could see up to 1 inch of additional rainfall.
Travelers and residents should remain alert, as flood watches and severe weather alerts may be issued in the coming days.
