Dallas — Expect warm, mostly dry weather across North Texas. Afternoon highs will reach the 90s, and morning lows will dip into the 60s and 70s. A cold front is expected midweek that may bring a better chance of showers and storms late Tuesday into Wednesday, and a Flood Watch is in effect for parts of North Texas through Thursday evening, though DFW is no longer included.
Key points — immediate conditions and risks
Most of the region will stay warm and largely dry through the coming days, with only isolated precipitation expected over the weekend. Isolated showers or storms could develop, mainly northwest of the Metroplex. If storms do form, they may bring lightning and brief gusty winds, but no severe weather is expected for most areas.
There is a marginal risk of low-end severe storms this evening across North Texas, with higher chances north of the Metroplex. Forecasters advise people to be aware of localized lightning and gusts where storms occur, while the broader severe threat remains limited.
Timing of the cold front and precipitation
Temperatures will remain several degrees above normal until a cold front arrives midweek. Scattered rain chances will continue into early next week, especially near the Red River. A stronger cold front is expected late Tuesday into Wednesday, bringing a better chance of showers and storms as it moves south. Following that front, daytime highs may drop into the 80s for the latter half of the week, offering some relief from recent heat.
Flooding and rainfall amounts
Flood Watch is in effect for parts of North Texas through Thursday evening, though DFW is no longer included. An additional 1 to 2 inches of rain could be possible through Sunday, primarily affecting eastern counties. This localized additional rainfall could raise concerns for low-lying and poorly drained areas in the eastern portion of the region.
Heat and early school-week impacts
The first week of school will bring hot and humid conditions, with a Heat Advisory in place through Sunday evening. Heat index values could reach 105°+, with actual highs in the upper 90s due to high humidity levels. Residents and outdoor workers should take precautions against heat stress, hydrate, and limit prolonged exposure during peak afternoon hours.
Weekend and near-term outlook
Over the weekend, isolated non-severe storms and showers are possible, mainly outside of the central Metroplex area. Coverage is expected to be limited this weekend, with slightly higher coverage expected next week as the midweek cold front approaches and the atmosphere becomes more favorable for organized showers and storms.
What to watch for
- Short-term: Isolated showers or storms northwest of the Metroplex; marginal risk of low-end severe storms this evening.
- Midweek: Stronger cold front late Tuesday into Wednesday with increased shower and storm chances.
- Flood potential: Flood Watch through Thursday evening for parts of North Texas; DFW not included; 1 to 2 inches possible through Sunday primarily in eastern counties.
- Heat: Heat Advisory in place through Sunday evening; heat index values could reach 105°+.
Background and context
North Texas has experienced several days with temperatures near or above 90 degrees. The approaching midweek front represents the first opportunity for a broader cooldown this season, but fall-like weather is not yet fully settled in. Cooler daytime highs in the 80s after the front will provide relief from recent 90-degree days, but humidity and scattered shower chances will continue to influence daily conditions through the start of next week.
