WHAT TO EXPECT WITH NORTH TEXAS WEATHER
Scattered thunderstorms are expected to develop between 2 p.m. and 3 p.m. and move from over the west and northwest parts of North Texas. The NWS said a few isolated storms are possible along the Interstate 35 corridor and within the Metroplex.
Large hail, damaging wind gusts and tornadoes will be possible Wednesday afternoon, the NWS said.
The storms should move north into Oklahoma Wednesday evening and North Texas should be mostly quiet overnight aside from a few possible storms along the Red River.
A cold front arriving Thursday morning will bring another chance for storm development before dawn over western North Texas. Those storms will move east and bring the threat of large hail and isolated tornadoes. That line of storms is expected to move east through the morning and early afternoon.
After the rain departs Thursday the concern will shift to the heat where temperatures are expected to climb into the 90s Friday and then possibly into the low 100s over the weekend.
