Mostly cold week forecast in North Texas with warmer temps, possible severe storms Thursday
Temperatures in North Texas will briefly warm in the middle of the week, bringing the possibility of thunderstorms Thursday, according to the National Weather Service in Fort Worth.
Temperatures Monday and Tuesday were predicted to peak in the upper 50s before going climbing into the 70s by Thursday. On Friday and into the weekend, forecasts show those temps going back into the 50s.
Storms on Thursday are expected to be widespread and stretch into the night, according to the National Weather Service. Meteorologists can’t rule out the storms being strong or severe.
The stormy weather might lead into a spring freeze Friday night. Low temps in the Dallas-Fort Worth area likely will be in the 30s, but colder temperatures are more likely in counties to the west and northwest.
Residents are advised to keep up to date with the latest forecast information, particularly if you’re concerned with any outdoor planting. Sensitive plants and vegetation may need to be covered over the weekend.
Tuesday is expected to be mostly cloudy, with some chances of scattered storms and little to no rain accumulation.
