(6PM) An outflow boundary (green line advancing south on radar) is moving south through Parker, Tarrant and Dallas co. As it passes through over the next 30min, it may produce 40-50mph winds which could stir up patio furniture. A few downpours could fire behind it too. #TXwx

Today kicks off our cooler and more active pattern! Isolated showers will be possible through lunchtime, before activity ramps up this afternoon. A few isolated strong storms will be possible - gusty winds, small hail, and isolated flooding are the primary threats

Weekend Forecast: Hot and mostly dry Saturday, hot and stormy Sunday!

A touch cooler compared to the past few days...

Very hot and dry conditions persist for just a bit longer before a front returns storm chances late Saturday night into Sunday. Heavy rainfall may increase the flood threat. Clouds and rain chances will hang on through Wednesday of next week.

Another heat and repeat forecast for your Friday. Expect highs near 100. A front returns better rain chances by Sunday.

Very hot through Saturday with most areas remaining dry. As the ridge retreats well North and more Gulf moisture surges in, we'll see scattered showers and storms Sunday/Monday with a bit of heat relief too!

Another warm overnight is on the way as temperatures in the Metroplex will struggle to dip below 80° before you wake up in the morning! Believe it or not, that's about 5 degrees above where we should be this time of year! #TXwx

PLANNING YOUR EVENING: Go with water or tea tonight at dinner! Temperatures will still be near 100 with feel-like numbers closer to 103/104. It remains a warm evening, though it'll feel a lot better once the sun goes down! #TXwx
