North Texas will enjoy a beautiful Friday with abundant sunshine and warm temperatures in the upper 70s — but rain chances will increase by Sunday.

North Texans should savor Saturday’s sunshine, because the National Weather Service says storms are expected to roll through the region Sunday and into early next week. Isolated to scattered showers and storms will spread east across the region starting late Sunday afternoon,

Several forecasters across Texas are warning severe storms, including hail and thunderstorms, could hit towns early next week as a front moves through.

The cold front has moved well to the southeast of North Texas, and drier air will continue to mix out the clouds throughout the day. Although some showers and storms developed overnight, they have since passed through the metroplex.
