Windy conditions will persist through the day today, with speeds gradually decreasing late this evening and overnight. Sustained north winds of 20-30 mph are expected, with peak gusts up to 50 mph. A Wind Advisory is in effect for all of North and Central TX through 7 PM this evening.

Scattered showers and thunderstorms will continue across western North Texas this afternoon, with the highest rain chances remaining well west and northwest of the Metroplex. Localized rainfall totals greater than 4 inches may lead to isolated flash flooding through this evening along and west of Hwy 281. 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.

Gusty north winds behind a strong cold front will make driving of high profile vehicles and boating on area lakes difficult on Friday. The threat for grass fires will also be elevated across Central Texas. Much cooler weather is also expected with highs mainly in the 60s!

We're expecting windy conditions on Friday, with gusts up to around 45 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.
