There is currently a lot of uncertainty with the forecast as the weekend moves closer and closer. 

The longer-range models are not in consensus, meaning the forecast is a bit difficult when looking at precipitation potential. For example, the GFS model shows heavy rain while the European model shows clear skies. As of now, the First Alert Weather team is forecasting some rainfall across North Texas.
