After a few sprinkles Saturday morning, the clouds broke by afternoon and temperatures climbed to 80 degrees. The very spring-like temperatures, gusty south winds, and increasing humidity will continue across North Texas on Sunday. Those factors could also contribute to some thunderstorm chances late Sunday, and a few of those storms could become severe.
A storm system will move into the region late Sunday and Sunday night bringing us our best opportunity for rain and thunderstorms. A few spotty showers will be possible during the day. But the most likely time for us to see rain will be Sunday evening and into the overnight hours.
The storms we see could be strong to severe, especially north and northeast of DFW. This won't be a major outbreak of severe weather, but some gusty winds and hail will be possible. The good news is that we definitely need some rain as drought conditions worsen across the area. The storms will move through rather quickly and it may not be a solid line. This means there could be some locations that don't get much rain at all.
A strong cold front will sweep across North Texas Sunday night. It will be windy and much colder on Monday. Temperatures rebound by Wednesday and Thursday before another cold front brings more chilly weather by the end of the week. We will likely see a freeze next Saturday morning, perhaps the last one of the season.
