As the first week of April begins, North Texas is finding that the adage “April showers bring May flowers” is accurate.
The weather is rapidly intensifying as the week goes on, with a greater likelihood of wind and humidity.
Forecast for Tuesday: rising humidity and wind
Gusty winds and increasing humidity are predicted to impact the area on Tuesday, setting the tone for the next days.
The amount of cloud cover will decrease throughout the day after beginning the day high.
By Tuesday afternoon, winds are predicted to increase to gusts of 30 to 35 mph. Overnight, the likelihood of storms will increase.
Forecast for Wednesday: Risk of wind and hail
The weather becomes more lively as Wednesday approaches. Late Tuesday night into Wednesday morning, the first significant storm system is expected to arrive, bringing with it the possibility of hail and high winds.
The storms will be brought on by a cold front pushing through.
Around daybreak, the strongest storm activity is predicted to occur east of Dallas and close to I-35.
There is a chance of huge hail and strong gusts during these early morning storms.
On Wednesday evening, another storm is expected to move in, increasing the likelihood of severe weather, especially north of the DFW region where the hail may be more severe.
As the weather turns from comparatively quiet to possibly dangerous, it’s a day to be ready.
Forecast for Thursday: Possible early-morning hail
There will be more active weather on Thursday. There will still be a chance of huge hail on Thursday morning due to the intense disturbance that occurred on Wednesday.
By the afternoon, these storms should begin to move out, and as the temperature drops slightly below 80 degrees, the weather will dry out.
The weather is expected to settle down by Thursday night, although it will still be colder than it has been in the past.
Forecast for Friday: Serious weather danger
Friday is predicted to see the worst weather of the week.
On Friday, a strong upper-level storm system that is now moving from Arizona and New Mexico will make its way into North Texas, bringing with it the possibility of hazardous storms and a lot of rain.
East of DFW, where strong thunderstorms may generate destructive winds, hail, and heavy rainfall, the worst risk of severe weather will be seen.
Flooding is more likely as a result of this storm system’s potential to dump several inches of rain, particularly late Friday and early Saturday.
The weather is still erratic as the weekend approaches. Heavy rains will continue to batter the area on Saturday morning, raising fears about flooding. But storms should dissipate by the evening, and the weather will dry out.
Forecast for the weekend: A cold front arrives
Gusty winds will maintain temperatures in the 60s throughout the day, even though the weather is clearing. It will be somewhat colder on Sunday, with highs of the 50s expected throughout day.

Cloud cover and strong gusts will make it feel colder than the actual temperature.
The threat of severe weather is not limited to the weekend. Residents of North Texas should remain vigilant about the weather and be ready for possibly dangerous situations as storms and severe weather are still a possibility until next week.
As storms and temperature changes continue to influence the region’s weather, this is a week to be aware, keep an eye on local forecasts, and take the appropriate safety measures.
