DFW Weather: Thunderstorm Chances Expected This Week After a record-dry winter in North Texas, the first half of March is set to bring a significant shift in the weather pattern, with multiple rounds of showers and thunderstorms expected. The region is transitioning into a more active and stormy setup, which will provide much-needed rainfall following months of drought. However, the timing and intensity of these storms remain uncertain, making it challenging to predict the exact impact of each round of precipitation. While the overall severe weather risk is considered low, there are still potential threats for strong to severe thunderstorms, particularly on Friday and Saturday. These storms could produce hail up to the size of quarters, wind gusts reaching 60 mph, and periods of heavy rainfall. The National Weather Service has issued alerts for these days, highlighting the possibility of impactful weather. The first storm system is expected to bring scattered showers on Thursday, though the coverage will remain limited. By Friday afternoon and evening, the rain will become more widespread, with some storms capable of producing the aforementioned severe conditions. The highest risk for severe weather will likely be north of North Texas, while most areas may only experience isolated storms. Rainfall totals are projected to range from 1 to 2 inches across the region, with some locations potentially receiving more than that. These totals are expected to accumulate from Wednesday through Sunday, and the active pattern could persist into early next week, bringing additional rounds of showers and thunderstorms. By the middle of the following week, the weather is expected to stabilize.#national_weather_service #north_texas #dfw_weather #thunderstorm #severe_weather
