Overview
- Thursday starts warm and muggy with daytime highs in the mid to upper 80s and feels-like temperatures near 90°F, with a chance of isolated afternoon showers.
- Rain chances climb Thursday into the weekend as an upper-level low moves in from the southwest, with forecasts showing roughly 70% probability Saturday and 50% Sunday for the DFW area.
- Forecasters say there is a low-end level 1/4 flood risk from Thursday through Sunday, meaning localized flash flooding is possible where heavy rain sets up.
- The overall severe threat is low but some storms this weekend could produce small hail, gusty winds, frequent lightning, and pockets of heavy rain that could exacerbate flooding.
- Once the system departs, models project a quick return to dry weather and hotter temperatures, with highs back in the 90s and feels-like values reaching the lower triple digits by mid next week.
