North Texas is in for a rollercoaster of weather this week. It started with a chill, but things are heating up fast. By afternoon, temperatures will climb to nearly 80 degrees, thanks to winds blowing in from the southeast. These winds are also bringing in moisture, so expect clouds to roll in as the day goes on.

As evening falls, a cold front will start moving in from the west. This could bring some rain and even a few thunderstorms. The Storm Prediction Center has issued a level 1 risk for severe storms in the northwest counties. The main concerns are strong winds and hail. These storms might arrive between 4 and 7 a. m. on Thursday.

Thursday will see more of the same warm weather, with temperatures close to 80 again. Breezy winds from the south could gust up to 30 mph. There's a chance for isolated severe storms, especially near the Red River. Rainfall will be light, but be prepared for hail and gusty winds.

By Friday, the cold front will stall, which could lead to more storms in the afternoon and evening, especially southeast of the Metroplex. But don't worry, things will start to clear up by Friday night. The clouds will disappear, and temperatures will drop back into the 30s overnight.

The weekend is looking up, with plenty of sunshine and cooler, more seasonable temperatures. It's a good time to enjoy the outdoors after a week of warm days and stormy nights.
