North Texas residents face a wet Thursday night as the probability of precipitation climbs to 50 percent before a major temperature shift.
Humidity and cloud cover will build through the day, bringing the first rounds of showers by late afternoon. The First Alert Weather Team notes that wet roadways are the minimum expectation for the early Friday morning commute.
Rain will break up by midday Friday but return in the late afternoon. Showers will continue overnight and into Halloween, with the steadiest rain likely moving out by early evening. An isolated 20 percent chance of showers will persist into the early evening of the holiday.
Dry conditions will return by Sunday as highs recover to the 80-degree mark on Sunday and Monday. This brief reprieve occurs before the next strong cold front arrives.
The weather team is monitoring the Monday night into Tuesday timeframe for the arrival of that front. A line of strong to severe storms is expected, though exact timing may change. Highs will drop to the lower 70s by the middle of next week.
