Storm chances will increase Friday afternoon and evening, isolated strong to severe thunderstorms will be possible (30% chance) along and east of a dryline extending from southeast Oklahoma into the Texas Hill country. Capping will be weaker on Friday compared to Thursday, so there is more confidence that a few storms will develop in our area. Storms that develop should still remain isolated, and as a result, the majority of us should still remain dry. For any storm that develops, large hail and damaging winds will be the primary hazards.
Scattered severe thunderstorms will be possible on Saturday and Sunday across parts of North Texas as the dryline becomes more active. Thunderstorms will likely develop during the late afternoon hours on Saturday and become severe as they move east. Large hail and damaging winds will be possible with any storms that develop. Additional scattered severe storms will be possible on Sunday, although the threat may shift a little farther north and west.
Isolated showers and storms will remain possible for areas east of the I-35 corridor tonight, before coming to an end around midnight. Skies will remain cloudy overnight, with temperatures dropping into the mid 60s to mid 70s.
A period of active weather will continue into early next week with storm chances both Monday and Tuesday. Highs will be in the 80s and 90s.
