Another stormy weekend is expected for the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Heavy rain and lightning are the main threats on Saturday and Sunday.

Friday will also continue to see showers and storms throughout a cloudy afternoon, especially south of Interstate 20, according to the National Weather Service.

“Heads up, south of DFW ... scattered showers are developing,” Grant Johnston, a meteorologist with KXAS-TV (NBC5), posted on Twitter early Friday. “These are moving northwest and may affect the metroplex later today.”

Showers & storms will continue to increase in coverage, with the best chances remaining south of I-20 this afternoon. Locally heavy rainfall and lightning will be the main hazards.

National Weather Service forecasts show the heaviest rain this weekend should fall east of Interstate 35. Severe weather is not expected, but strong storms with gusty winds and lightning strikes remain possible Saturday and Sunday.

The rainy weather won’t be a total washout, the weather service reported, but there may be isolated instances of flooding and flash flooding.

Forecasts show rain chances highest Saturday and Sunday afternoons. Several dry hours are also expected over the weekend, according to NBC5.

Weekend temperatures are expected to remain cooler than usual as well, with lows in the 60s and highs in the upper 70s to low 80s.

The wet weather pattern follows another week of periodic rain and scattered storms, which already had resulted in lake closures and minor flooding across the Dallas-Fort Worth area. The month of May was also an especially rainy month, with about 3 more inches of total rainfall than usual.

The wet weather pattern is forecast to persist through the middle of next week, with possible rainfall totals as high as about 4 inches before showers taper off Thursday, NBC5 reported.
