Dallas‑Fort Worth is waking up to a sticky, gray start today, with low clouds and muggy air sitting over the region. Temperatures are in the mid 60s, about 66°F at Dallas Love Field, but the cool feel will not last for long. Forecasters expect those low clouds to thin around midday and let temperatures climb toward an afternoon high near 82°F as south‑southeast winds pick up and help prime the atmosphere for scattered storms.
Weekend Forecast Overview
From midday into the afternoon today, look for partly sunny skies along with a 30% chance of scattered showers and thunderstorms between about 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. Highs should land near 82°F, with south‑southeast winds running about 5 to 15 mph and occasional gusts up to 25 mph. After dark, a more organized line of showers and thunderstorms is expected to slide east into North and Central Texas, with rain and storms becoming more likely overnight. The nighttime rain chance sits around 60%, and showers and thunderstorms are likely to carry over into Sunday, April 12, 2026. Forecasters caution that Sunday afternoon and evening could feature strong to severe storms capable of damaging winds, large hail and isolated tornadoes.

Overnight Into Sunday: Growing Threat
Hoodline flagged the rising storm chances earlier this week, and this morning’s forecast tightens the timing and bumps up the concern for tonight until tomorrow. Tomorrow, many spots around the region can expect localized rainfall totals between about one-quarter and one-half inch, with heavier amounts possible where storms track repeatedly over the same areas. Weather spotter activation may be requested on Sunday, so anyone trained and able to report hazardous conditions should be ready to pass along what they see.
What To Know For Commutes And Plans
The low clouds this morning could put a slight drag on the early commute, and any bursts of heavy rain this afternoon or overnight can cut visibility quickly and make roads slick. Plan on a little extra travel time and ease off the gas when the pavement turns wet. Around the house, secure loose outdoor items ahead of the gustier periods, and be ready to move outdoor plans inside if storms approach. If you can see lightning, it is time to head indoors. Keep tabs on local forecasts and make sure you have more than one way to receive watches and warnings.
Week Ahead
The active pattern looks ready to hang around into next week, with daily chances for scattered showers and storms. Monday may offer a relative lull, then storm chances pick back up on Tuesday and Wednesday. Temperatures should stay on the warm side, with highs most days running from the upper 70s into the mid 80s. Day‑to‑day details can shift, so staying weather aware will be key as the week unfolds.
