North Texas faces severe thunderstorms and rain on Rangers Opening Day

North Texas is currently experiencing inclement weather, characterized by widespread rain and thunderstorms. As of Friday, March 28, 2025, a First Alert Weather Day has been issued due to these severe conditions, particularly affecting the southeast regions. The rain began earlier in the morning, resulting in scattered showers that have made commutes difficult, with visibility decreasing to around two miles in certain areas due to the heavy rainfall. While storms are not categorized as severe at present, there is potential for the situation to escalate, with a marginal risk for severe storms later in the day, particularly during the late morning and afternoon hours. The National Weather Service has noted that the storms may carry heavy rains, resulting in slick road conditions and necessitating umbrellas for schoolchildren. This challenging weather is expected to continue for part of the day before clearing by Friday evening. Temperatures are also notably lower than previous days, with highs only reaching the upper 60s today, a stark contrast to anticipated highs in the mid-80s over the weekend. The upcoming days may bring additional weather challenges, including a further small chance of rain and a slight risk of severe storms on Sunday, particularly with the potential for damaging winds and large hail. A cold front is projected to move through on Sunday, which will further affect temperatures into the low 70s for Monday, with warmer conditions returning to the area on Tuesday and Wednesday.
