Residents in Dallas and surrounding counties should brace for a mix of severe weather conditions today and through the weekend, with forecasts predicting heavy rainfall and possible thunderstorms, some being severe, according to the National Weather Service. The day looks set to kick off with a slight risk of showers and thunderstorms before transitioning into a more tumultuous afternoon where a 60% chance of precipitation could bring between a half and three-quarters of an inch of new rainfall.

As the evening approaches, the likelihood of showers and thunderstorms persists mainly before 7 pm, and while temperatures drop to a low of around 63 degrees, gusts could get up to 20 mph, adding to the inclement conditions. Transitioning into a partly sunny Friday, with gusts again potentially hitting highs of 20 mph while the sun might peek through the clouds, the weekend is forecasted to yet again stir up more unsettled weather starting from Sunday bringing with it a 50% chance of showers, and perhaps even thunderstorms.

The Hazardous Weather Outlook issued bright and early today suggests that storm spotters might be on high alert this afternoon and into the evening, with the severest weather expected to rear its head along and south of I-20 – there's talk of potentially "very large hail, damaging winds, and perhaps a tornado or two."

Looking ahead, while Tuesday seems to offer a respite with sunny skies, the midweek period may invite fresh storm risks by Wednesday afternoon, the succession of sun breaks leading into contrast and a dance of volatile weather patterns, repeats itself as the calendar days fold into nights and back to days; tempestuous fluctuations grip the region as we traverse from spring's vitality into the tempest of what nature proffers, with the National Weather Service keeping a keen eye on the ever-changing skies above North and Central Texas.
