First weather warning: Storms could affect your trip home Thursday night

NORTH TEXAS (CBSNewsTexas.com) — Attention North Texas! A weather warning was issued on Thursday.

As we move on Thursday morning, keep an eye out for frequent dense fog.

A thick fog warning is in effect for most of North Texas until 10:00 a.m. Visibility can be less than a quarter of a mile.

Then, in the late afternoon and afternoon, a cold front will slip through the area, giving way to intermittent showers and thunderstorms.

Some storms can be severe or violent in parts of North Texas. The Storm Prediction Center has parts of the area that are at low risk.

While we do not expect an outbreak of severe weather, several storms could develop that will bring gusty winds, light hail and periods of heavy rain. Local flooding is also possible.

Turn around, don’t drown.

The tornado threat is low and we can expect storms to develop anytime between 2pm and 8pm.

Areas along and east of I-35E are most likely to see major storms today. Showers and storms will move further south of I-20 tonight.

On top of these weather concerns, North Texas will have cloudy skies today with mid to 60s highs. By nightfall, the lows will be above 40.

On Friday, although occasional rain is possible, most areas will be dry with partly cloudy skies. The highs will be in the mid-60s.

Our temperature rollercoaster will continue until the weekend. In fact, the highs will be in the 80s on Saturday, then they will drop to the mid-60s on Sunday after the cold front passes.

A few scattered showers and storms are possible on Saturday, mostly in the north towards the Red River, and we will keep a close eye on this threat.
