Storm chances increase as cold front approaches

The National Weather Service says that Friday will be warm and windy across North Texas. Later in the day, there may be a few showers and storms.

The high temperature will be in the upper 80s to around 90 degrees, and the wind will gust over 30 miles per hour. A weak disturbance in the atmosphere moving through the area could cause scattered showers and thunderstorms in the late afternoon and evening, which would be especially detrimental for people who are commuting.

Forecasters say that storms will stay localized and below severe levels in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex and that only a small amount of rain will fall.

The weather will stay mostly dry through Saturday, but the humidity will stay high and the temperature will stay close to 90 degrees.

As a cold front moves toward North Texas late Sunday, the weather is likely to become busier. There will be a greater chance of widespread rain and stronger storms. Meteorologists are monitoring the possibility of severe weather and heavy rain that could continue until early next week.

In an update, experts said, "Get ready," adding that the storm's reach will likely grow as the front moves closer to the area.

Officials tell people to pay attention to the weather, especially during busy journey times, because storms can make things change quickly.
