Strong winds and a fire hazard exist for Saturday across north Texas. Additionally, a slight chance of thunderstorms exists across the eastern parts of north Texas on Saturday afternoon.
A strong low pressure system currently located over the Texas panhandle will send a dryline through the region Saturday mid-day, increasing winds and posing a fire weather hazard. This dryline will act as a focus for some isolated thunderstorms that may develop in the afternoon east of I-35. These storms are likely to form just east of the immediate DFW Metroplex, so most of us will likely experience just dry and windy conditions in the afternoon. However storms that do develop will rest in an environment that could be supportive of strong to severe storms, and would be worth keeping an eye on.
Weather Saturday morning may be mostly cloudy or overcast, but quickly switch to clear skies after the dryline passes around noon. The rest of the day should remain clear, dry, and windy. The next 5 days including Sunday appear to remain dry and finally bring about a warming trend, with temps finally reaching 80 degrees by Thursday.
However Friday brings around our next significant storm system, with computer models already picking up on a good shot of severe weather for Friday afternoon or evening. Exact timing or locations of severe weather is hard to determine this far out, but computer models are all in good agreement that with plentiful moisture available, this storm system has alot of severe potential already. I will keep an eye on this developing situation and send updates as needed.
