Little chance of rain ahead for Dallas-Fort Worth Cooler, closer to seasonable temperatures move in for the spring equinox Thursday. It will also be less windy. But the breeze will pick back up at end the week, and elevated to critical fire danger will linger into the weekend. A cold front worked through earlier Wednesday, bringing a shift in the wind, and another windy, gusty day in North Texas. Cooler air sticks around into Thursday, with morning lows in the 30s and 40s.

After a cold weekend in North Texas, above-average temperatures are settling in for the workweek. Temperatures were 5-10 degrees above average on Monday, and the warming trend is expected to continue throughout the week. On Tuesday, highs are forecasted to reach the lower 80s, driven by a strong southerly wind. As we head into Wednesday, a dryline will develop, bringing the threat of isolated storms, mainly east of I-35. The timeframe for this will be primarily in the afternoon and evening.

Following a very active start to the weekend, the area of low pressure that brought the severe storms on Saturday is moving eastward, leaving us with just a bit of a drizzle, mainly for our areas along and north of the metroplex. This drizzle will gradually move east, with most of us drying out into the late-morning/early afternoon. The exceptions will be for our far northeastern/eastern counties, where the clouds and drizzle will be a bit slower to exit.
