The unsettled pattern continues mid-week with additional storm chances Wednesday and Thursday associated with an approaching dryline and passing cold front. Strong to severe thunderstorms and heavy rainfall will be possible at times. Large hail and damaging wind gusts are the main threats. Localized heavy rainfall may lead to flash flooding, especially over areas that are saturated from recent rainfall.
Today will be warm with highs in the 80s to around 90. An early cold front will stall and then shift northward as a warm front later this afternoon. There is a very low chance for showers and storms south of the warm front late this afternoon and evening, but North and Central Texas will likely remain dry until tomorrow.
Warm and very humid weather is expected around midweek with highs ranging from the mid 80s to the lower 90s. With dewpoints in the mid 60s to mid 70s, parts of Central and eastern North Texas may see peak heat index values in the mid 90s to near 100 degrees by Wednesday afternoon.
A Thursday cold front will drop temperatures to slightly below normal values for Mother's Day weekend, with highs mainly in the mid to upper 70s. A slight chance of storms returns Sunday, with better chances arriving early to mid next week.
