Once again, cloud cover is thick across most of the Lone Star State, with warm temperatures and high humidity. Far West Texas has sunny skies but strong winds. 

By late afternoon, a dry-line west of DFW will spark a few thunderstorms for northwest Texas. Strong and severe storms are possible, with the area west of Fort Worth under a slight (2 of 5) risk. 

Large hail, damaging winds and a few tornadoes are possible. Storms will probably weaken as they approach the Interstate 35 corridor early Saturday.

The severe storm threat continues Saturday afternoon and evening with a slight (2 of 5) risk for the Metroplex, Waco and just west of Austin and San Antonio.

Strong storms are possible across northeast Texas through Sunday.

Deep South Texas will see gusty southeast winds through Friday with a high risk of strong rip currents near the coast.

El Paso will enjoy sunshine, but advisories for gusty winds and blowing dust are in effect. Fire danger also remains high.

Temperatures will be near average with morning lows in the 60s and afternoon highs in the 80s and 90s.
