Dallas, Texas – Commuters across North Texas face a wet and stormy Wednesday morning as thunderstorms move through Dallas, Fort Worth, and surrounding counties. Drivers should prepare for slick conditions on major routes, including I-35 and I-30, with heavy downpours expected to reduce visibility during peak travel hours.
According to the National Weather Service, storms will taper off by midday Wednesday, leaving behind scattered showers and partly sunny skies. Rain chances drop sharply overnight, paving the way for drier conditions heading into Thursday and Friday. Temperatures will stay seasonable, with highs in the low 80s and cooler nighttime lows in the mid-60s.
The first week of fall is shaping up to be calm once storms exit. Sunshine returns Thursday afternoon and will dominate into the weekend. By Friday, Dallas and surrounding communities can expect dry air, clear skies, and highs reaching the mid to upper 80s. Winds will remain light, keeping conditions comfortable for outdoor plans.
Residents are urged to allow extra time for travel Wednesday morning, avoid flooded low-lying roads, and secure outdoor items as gusty winds accompany storms. Once the skies clear, Texans will see a stretch of steady fall weather lasting into early next week.
More stable conditions are expected through Saturday and Sunday, making this one of the most pleasant weekends of September. No significant cold fronts appear likely yet, but early October may bring the first hints of cooler air.
