Dallas residents are preparing for an active weather weekend as forecasts call for the return of thunderstorms and the potential for severe conditions. If you live in or near Dallas, staying informed about the upcoming weather is crucial for your safety and peace of mind. Here’s what you can expect and how you can stay prepared.
The National Weather Service has issued a Severe Thunderstorm Watch for the Dallas-Fort Worth area until midnight. Forecasts predict warm and muggy conditions, with the risk of storms increasing Friday afternoon and continuing into Saturday. Residents should expect the main threats to be large hail and damaging winds. The tornado risk remains low, but it's still important to stay alert throughout the weekend.
According to FOX 4 Dallas-Fort Worth, storm activity is anticipated to begin after 4 p.m. near the Metroplex. Coverage will be more widespread to the east and south of Dallas-Fort Worth. Temperatures are expected to climb into the low 90s as the storm system approaches, making it feel like summer despite the storm risks. Residents are encouraged to review the full Dallas weather forecast and storm updates for detailed information.
Saturday’s weather in Dallas brings continued risks. The morning will be warm, humid, and cloudy. A stronger disturbance is forecasted to arrive in the afternoon, potentially triggering more severe storms west of the Metroplex. These could bring similar threats of hail and strong winds. By Sunday, conditions remain warm and breezy, with additional storm chances later in the evening.
The Yahoo Friday Evening Forecast notes that the possibility for large hail remains through midnight, with scattered showers continuing into the start of next week. Daytime highs will remain in the upper 80s and low 90s, and nights will be mild and humid—typical early summer weather in North Texas.
With the potential for damaging weather, Dallas residents should take the following precautions:
Remember, the primary threats this weekend are hail and strong winds, not tornadoes. However, all severe weather should be taken seriously to safeguard lives and property.
While storm chances linger into Monday, forecasters expect the system to move out by Tuesday afternoon. By midweek, Dallas residents can look forward to mostly sunny skies and daytime highs in the upper 70s to low 80s. This break in the weather will give everyone a chance to recover from the weekend storms and enjoy more pleasant conditions.
