A weak front approaching from the north will bring scattered thunderstorms to portions of North Texas late tonight through Friday afternoon. The greatest storm coverage is expected generally north of I-20 from after midnight through midday Friday. While the overall severe weather threat remains low, a few storms may produce gusty winds and frequent lightning. Most locations south of I-20 are expected to remain dry and warm, with afternoon temperatures reaching the low to mid 90s.
Heat and humidity will combine to produce afternoon heat index values between 99 and 105 degrees on Saturday. Anyone spending extended time outdoors should take precautions to avoid heat-related illness by staying hydrated, taking frequent breaks, and limiting strenuous activity during the hottest part of the day.
Rain and thunderstorm chances will increase across North and Central Texas Sunday and continue into Monday as a frontal boundary settles into the region. The primary concerns will be frequent lightning and periods of heavy rainfall. While not everyone will see flooding, localized flooding may develop where storms repeatedly move over the same locations or move slowly. If you have outdoor plans this weekend, be prepared for possible interruptions due to nearby thunderstorms and keep up with the latest forecast updates.
The first extended stretch of summertime heat and humidity is underway. Make sure you're taking proper precautions to avoid heat-related illness if spending time outdoors this week.
