Scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected to develop ahead of a dryline/cold front Sunday afternoon and evening, primarily along and east of I-35. Some storms could be strong to severe with large hail and damaging winds as the main threats. The tornado threat is low, but an isolated tornado can't be ruled out. Gusty winds up to 25 mph and relative humidity values as low as 15 percent will result in elevated fire concerns in portions of western North and Central Texas during the afternoon and evening.
Saturday afternoon will be dry, with warm and breezy conditions promoting an elevated fire threat west of US-281 as humidity drops to between 20-25%. However, there is a conditional threat for thunderstorms Saturday night into Sunday morning for portions of North and Central Texas along and east of a dryline. A strong cap will be in place and might keep anything from developing. However, if a storm is able to form, then it could become strong to severe with large hail and damaging winds the main threats.
Scattered to widespread showers with isolated embedded thunderstorms will continue through tonight before exiting into East Texas. The highest rain chances remains east of I-35, and severe weather is not expected with any storm.
After a cool Monday with highs in the 60s and 70s, expect a warm up back into the 70s and 80s over the rest of the week. An unsettled weather pattern is expected over the latter half of the week, with daily chances for showers and storms. There is potential for severe weather Tuesday night through Friday, with the highest potential on Wednesday. Make sure to keep updated with the forecast this weekend and next week!
