Scattered showers and thunderstorms will continue across western North Texas today, with the highest rain chances (60-80%) remaining well west and northwest of the Metroplex. Much of East and Central Texas is expected to be rain-free through the afternoon. A strong cold front will sweep southeast through North and Central Texas late this afternoon and tonight, bringing a sharp northerly wind shift and much cooler air. Temperatures will fall into the 50s and lower 60s by Friday morning.

In the wake of today's cold front, strong north winds are expected across North and Central Texas Friday morning through the afternoon. Sustained winds of 20-30 mph and peak gusts to 40-45 mph are expected before wind speeds gradually decrease Friday evening. Secure loose outdoor objects and use extra caution if driving high-profile vehicles.

We're expecting windy conditions on Friday, with gusts up to around 40 mph. Even the most common items become dangerous objects when picked up and carried by the wind! Make sure to secure loose outdoor items so they do not blow away!

Cooler and drier weather will settle into North and Central Texas this weekend. Saturday will be the coolest day with highs mainly in the 60s, followed by a chilly Saturday night with lows in the 40s. Temperatures will gradually warm Sunday into Monday under mostly sunny skies, with highs returning into the 70s.
