Storms return to North Texas Friday, with widespread rain and a somewhat higher threat level than on Thursday. A stalled front and a dryline will help initiate the storms, while sufficient moisture combined with the above-average temperatures will fuel the storms.
Temperatures on Friday will climb into the low 90s and dew point temperature will be in the 70s. The amount of moisture in the atmosphere will make the heat index value or "feels-like" temperature feel more like the upper 90s. Be sure to stay hydrated.
CBS News Texas meteorologists issued First Alert Weather Days for Friday and Saturday due to the severe storm chances. Large hail and damaging winds are the main threats with these storms while the risk of flooding and tornadoes remains low.
On Friday, the severe risk will remain to the east of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex.
The heat combined with the moisture will fuel storms Friday afternoon into the evening. Storms will start to ignite along and east of the I-35 corridor, eventually pushing to the southeast through the evening. Not all North Texans will see a severe storm or rain; however, those that do have the potential of large hail up to tennis ball size and damaging winds exceeding 60 mph.
On Saturday and Sunday, all of North Texas is under a severe threat.
A few storms are expected to develop along the dry line and evolve into a squall line as a front approaches on Saturday. The line of storms is forecast to move across the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex in the late afternoon.
Conditions will be clear overnight into Saturday morning, but by the afternoon, another scattered threat for severe weather will encompass all of North Texas. A dryline combined with an extensive amount of instability will lead to strong storms forming and the possibility for severe weather in the afternoon. Once again, hail and damaging winds will be the primary threat.
The threat for more severe weather will stay in the forecast across North Texas on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. It's not until Wednesday of next week that conditions begin to clear.
