Scattered storms are possible from this morning into the afternoon mainly in North Texas, some of which may produce frequent lightning and strong downburst wind gusts. Areas unaffected by thunderstorms will have another hot and humid afternoon with heat index values up to 105.

Heat and humidity will combine for heat index values up to 105 degrees on Saturday. Anyone spending time outdoors should take precautions to avoid heat-related illness by staying hydrated, taking frequent breaks, and limiting strenuous activity during the hottest part of the day.

[NWS Fort Worth @NWSFortWorth]

Isolated storms are possible this evening along a cold front across portions of North and Central TX. The thick cirrus is casting some uncertainty on storm development, but should any form they will have the risk for large hail and damaging winds.

[NWS Fort Worth @NWSFortWorth]

Rain chances continue into Friday, with the best chances being across Central Texas. Severe weather is unlikely, but a few strong storms may occur. Temperatures will be well below normal, with highs in the 50s to lower 60s. #texomawx #ctxwx #dfwwx
