DFW Weather Outlook: Warm Tuesday Precedes Storm Threat

Residents across the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex can enjoy a brief period of warm, sunny weather on Tuesday before an active weather pattern brings significant storm risks later in the week.

Strong south winds are contributing to warm and humid conditions across the region. Following morning cloud cover, Tuesday is expected to feature partly sunny skies with daytime high temperatures reaching the mid-80s.

Tuesday Night Forecast

Storm systems developing to the west are anticipated to weaken as they approach the DFW area by Tuesday evening. Overnight lows will settle into the 60s under partly cloudy skies.

Residents should anticipate occasional wind gusts during this period, potentially reaching speeds between 25 to 30 mph.

Severe Storm Threat Arrives Midweek

The primary concern begins late Wednesday afternoon and into the evening as potentially severe storms move into the Metroplex. These cells are forecast to weaken as they pass near the eastern side of I-35.

Primary Hazards for Wednesday Evening

The most significant threats associated with these Wednesday storms are large hail and damaging winds. Forecasters also note the possibility of locally heavy rainfall accompanying the severe weather.

The first of two major disturbances is set to increase storm potential from Wednesday evening through Thursday morning. While a low chance of storms exists west and northwest of the Metroplex, most of this initial activity should move out by midday Thursday.

Weekend Weather Pattern and Easter Outlook

A second round of significant weather is expected to impact the area from Friday night through Saturday. Storm chances increase substantially Friday night, with a 60% to 70% probability of thunderstorms across DFW.

These Friday night and Saturday storms carry the risk of severe weather and localized flooding. Scattered showers and storms might linger into Saturday night.

Preparing for Easter Weekend

While most rain is expected to clear before the holiday officially begins, Easter Sunday still holds a 20% to 30% chance of lingering showers. High temperatures on Sunday are projected to be in the mid-to-upper 60s.

A cold front is anticipated to move through the region, promising to dry out conditions fully by Sunday evening, setting the stage for clearer weather.
