An active weather pattern is unfolding for Friday and the weekend. Friday morning, a disturbance in the jet stream pattern will lead to thunderstorms. A few of these storms could be severe with hail and strong winds. The highest chance of rain appears to be from 6 am to noon. Much of Friday afternoon looks dry, although an isolated storm or two may pop up late in the afternoon.
Another opportunity for storms will arrive Saturday evening into the overnight hours. Some of these storms could be severe as well. The storms should develop well west of DFW during the late afternoon and evening and then move east. The storms should last into Sunday morning.
Outside of the stormy periods, there will also be several hours of dry weather this weekend. In fact, there will be more dry hours than wet hours Friday through Sunday. However, with the threat of severe storms, make sure you stay weather aware.
