The best chances for storms will move south today, though isolated storms will remain possible in North Texas. A few of these storms could be strong, with strong winds, frequent lightning, and heavy rain all possible. Temperatures will be cooler, with highs ranging from the mid 80s to mid 90s.

While severe storms are unlikely this weekend, we cannot rule out an isolated severe wind gust along the leading edge of the complex Sunday night into Monday morning.
