Overview
- Forecasters said Friday that light, scattered showers will persist across North Texas through Saturday morning and early afternoon, with rain chances decreasing and most neighborhoods drying out by Halloween evening for trick-or-treating.
- Tropical Storm Vance’s moisture is expected to move into Texas through Saturday and could boost weekend rain if it couples with local lifting, though meteorologists warn the timing and magnitude remain uncertain.
- A strong cold front late Monday into early Tuesday is forecast to push a line of thunderstorms through the region, and forecasters say there is an elevated chance some storms could be strong to severe.
- Temperatures will be warm and humid before the front, with Halloween daytime highs ranging from the mid-70s to mid-80s in places, followed by a noticeable cooldown to mornings in the 50s and afternoons near the 70s by midweek.
- Wet roadways and pockets of heavy rain may cause morning travel disruptions and localized flooding this weekend, so officials are watching whether the tropical moisture amplifies those local impacts.
