Dallas weather: Thanksgiving forecast takes a turn for the worse

Bad news for Thanksgiving travel and even Turkey Day itself.

The storm that was supposed to move through our area early in the week has become slower and wetter.

Gulf air moves north, and a storm moving south from the northwest bringing light showers on Wednesday, but for last-minute Thanksgiving travelers it will get heavier on Wednesday night.

The rain will pick up on Thursday morning, especially in the eastern part of North Texas.

Some may see thunderstorms.

Most of the Metroplex will be dry in the afternoon, but some of our eastern counties could see heavy rain. 

If you are driving on Thanksgiving Day, it could be pretty miserable if you are heading south or east.

There could be some potentially severe weather in East Texas.
