There's also a chance of isolated showers and thunderstorms throughout the afternoon and evening. If any storms do develop, you'll want to look out for small hail and gusty winds. The Storm Prediction Center (SPC) has North Texas highlighted under a level 1, or marginal risk, for strong or severe storms.

There will also be a chance of isolated showers and thunderstorms Friday. The chance for rain is around 20-30%. Some storms are possible Friday evening, before skies clear up going into the weekend.
Temperatures will rise to the upper 90s Saturday afternoon under sunny skies. By Sunday, highs will be around 103 degrees. There's expected to be heat alerts this weekend, so plan accordingly and drink plenty of water while outdoors.
And, just a heads up: Even hotter weather is expected next week, with highs in the lower 100s Monday through Wednesday.
