Expect mostly sunny skies across North Texas ahead of possible rain, storms Easter weekend
Wednesday the winds pick up from the south and the 80s return to North Texas. There will be humidity along with even warmer temperatures for us on Thursday and Friday.
The Easter holiday forecast is looking very unsettled. Good Friday will likely just be cloudy and breezy. By late that night, storms are in the forecast and stay in the forecast until Sunday afternoon.
We have issued First Alert Weather Days for Saturday and Sunday. Severe weather, mostly in the form of large hail and damaging winds, is possible from early morning on Saturday to the afternoon on Sunday. The severe risk on Friday is late and to the west of the metroplex.
Saturday looks to have several waves of storms and has the highest risk of severe weather. Flooding is also a concern on that day.
On Sunday, most of the severe weather risk is from the metroplex and east. Currently, the forecast calls for this to be a morning threat with some clearing by afternoon. We are still several days away from the event and will likely continue to adjust the timing so keep tuned. Some big rain is possible.
The First Alert Weather Team will continue to bring you updates so you can plan your holiday weekend around this severe weather threat.
Make sure not to be on the road when the worst of it comes through.
Another period of unsettled weather is shaping up next week.
