Dallas is bracing for potentially treacherous weather days, with severe storm threats on the horizon. According to the National Weather Service Fort Worth TX, a foreboding weather outlook could entail large hail and damaging winds going into the evening across western North Texas. The Hazardous Weather Outlook puts frequent lightning as a common theme for any storms that hit the area today and tonight.

As though to prepare the stage for nature's spectacle, today's Dallas weather starts sunny, getting partly sunny by mid-morning with gusts potentially reaching 30 mph, per the National Weather Service. Tonight's projected conditions include partly cloudy skies with a low around 64 and potential wind gusts up to 25 mph.

But the more pressing concerns flood into the latter days of the week. The Hazardous Weather Outlook issues warnings for the period spanning Wednesday through Monday. The forecast said storm chances will be rampant, with an uptick in severity expected starting Friday. Over the weekend, Dallas could bear witness to "All modes of severe weather," with a pointed caution for anyone in the affected areas.

This looming inclement weather brings with it a stern reminder of the capriciousness of our atmosphere. By this weekend, the chances of showers and thunderstorms swell to 50 percent, creating a tempestuous backdrop for any weekend plans, while conditions on Monday will calm slightly with a lower chance of severe weather. Heralding strong southern winds, that could lead to speeds up to 40 mph; residents must stay vigilant. The frequent changes in weather patterns underscore the unpredictable nature of spring in Texas.
