North Texas Braces for Stormy Weather: Brief Relief Ahead
North Texas is set to experience stormy weather over the next few days, with potential severe conditions including large hail, strong winds, and a low tornado risk. A warm and muggy Saturday is forecasted, with temperatures climbing near 90°F and a heat index that will feel even hotter.
Storms are expected to develop across the region, starting in the early afternoon around 2 PM to the west. A 70 percent chance of precipitation indicates that those affected may face potent supercells capable of producing significant hail, wind gusts between 60 to 70 mph, and a minimal tornado threat. As these storms move towards the Metroplex, they are likely to form into lines, with risks subsiding slightly as they progress eastward by sunset.
Sunday mirrors Saturday’s weather pattern, featuring warm, humid conditions with highs again reaching 90°F. Late afternoon storms are possible, but coverage drops to about 40 percent. The storm window is expected between 4 PM and 10 PM, with risks for hail and high winds persisting, although tornado threats remain low.
Looking ahead to Monday, storm chances remain at 40 to 50 percent as weather conditions develop based on the weekend’s events. The final wave of energy is anticipated on Tuesday morning, accompanied by a cold front that may bring further storms, particularly in eastern areas, before humidity levels begin to drop.
A reprieve from the soggy weather is in sight for mid-week, when temperatures will fall into the low to mid-80s under mostly sunny skies, offering a taste of pleasant May weather. Stay tuned for updates from the FOX 4 weather team as the forecast evolves.
