Two bouts of strong thunderstorms today and Thursday, temperatures well above average, and then much cooler weather arrives by early next week. Those are your weather stories over the next 7 days.
Heads up if you’re traveling NW or north of the Dallas-Fort Worth area through mid-morning. Widespread shower and strong thunderstorm activity will continue to break out in these areas. As the morning wears on, this area of rain will shift farther south and impact all of the Dallas-Fort Worth area towards late morning. As of now, I’m not looking for anything severe and the majority of the rain will stay along the north of Interstate 30 through early afternoon. Temperatures will reach the mid 60s today. Not much of a warm-up.
After 3:00 p.m. today, a cold front will edge through the area producing another area of showers and storms. A couple of these could become severe just south and east of DFW. As the evening wears on, this area of showers and storms will form into a pretty strong line of storms containing some small hail and some damaging wind. This line of storms will head towards the Texas coast towards midnight and should clear the coast by early Christmas morning. Morning lows will be cooler with readings ranging between 48° and 53°, still not too bad for this time of the year.
