Aside from the possibility of some severe weather Tuesday afternoon, it appears that North Texas is in for some spring weather this week.
There's a 20 percent chance of rain and thunderstorms starting Tuesday afternoon into the evening, with some south winds of up to 25 miles per hour bringing some moisture into the area, said meteorologist Dan Shoemaker of the National Weather Service office in Fort Worth.
The areas that are expected to see most of the storms are north of Tarrant County, Shoemaker said.
Grass fire warnings are still in effect for west Texas counties, with a possible red flag warning for Tarrant County for Tuesday afternoon, Shoemaker said.
The chance for severe weather on Tuesday includes a risk for a tornado, but most of the threat appears to be east of Tarrant County in areas such as Rockwall County, Shoemaker said.
Wednesday's forecast is sunny and cooler, with highs in the lower 60s and lows in the upper 30s that night, the forecast states.
Thursday appears to be clear, with highs in the lower 70s and lows in the lower 40s, the forecast states.
Clear skies are also in the forecast for Friday, with highs in the mid 70s and lows around 50, the forecast states.
There's a slight chance that Friday might bring a return of some winds to North Texas, Shoemaker said.
The temperatures this week are slightly above average for this time of year, Shoemaker said.
