Scattered showers and a few thunderstorms are expected to develop across West TX late tonight and spread east and northeast early Thursday morning throughout the day. There is a low potential for a few strong storms with small hail & gusty winds in western North TX and along the Red River. South-southwest winds will increase during the day with gusts near 25 mph possible. The windy conditions and low humidity will elevate the fire weather conditions west of US-281 Thursday afternoon.
Scattered showers and isolated storms are possible on Friday mainly across Central and East TX. A few strong storms are possible with gusty winds and small hail. A strong front will also move through the area on Friday bringing much cooler weather Friday night through the weekend. Breezy north winds will help drop temperatures to the 40s and 50s by Friday evening.
More seasonable temperatures return this weekend after a cold front moves through the region Friday. Highs will generally be in the 50s with chilly mornings in the 30s (and a few locations near freezing), so plan for a much cooler start to the day!
