Severe Storm Alert: Increased Threat in Dallas Before Tuesday Night Cold Front

North Texas is set to experience a warm and breezy start to the week, with temperatures expected to soar into the low 90s by Tuesday. A cold front is anticipated to move in on Tuesday evening, bringing with it a 30% chance of scattered storms that have the potential to become severe. Following the front’s passage, residents can expect a significant drop in temperatures, leading to a more comfortable stretch in the 70s for the remainder of the workweek.

This week begins with a return of heat and humidity, introducing the possibility of scattered storms and a brief rise in temperatures before the cold front arrives midweek.

On Monday, the forecast indicates warm and breezy conditions, with afternoon highs reaching the mid to upper 80s. South winds are predicted to continue at speeds between 15 and 25 mph.

As humidity levels increase throughout the day, the likelihood of storms remains low, primarily affecting the Red River valley, with most activity expected to remain north of the Metroplex.

A more substantial chance for rain is projected for Tuesday evening as the cold front approaches. Meteorologists have indicated a 30% chance of precipitation, highlighting a “conditional” risk for strong or severe storms. Should storms develop, the main threats will be large hail and damaging winds during the evening hours.

Scattered storms are likely to persist on Wednesday as the front settles southeast of the Metroplex. Tuesday is expected to be the hottest day of the week, with temperatures potentially climbing into the low 90s, before the front brings a welcome reprieve.

Temperatures are forecasted to cool down into the 70s for the rest of the workweek. Looking ahead to the weekend, another weather disturbance may lead to scattered rain and storms on Saturday and Sunday, with high temperatures expected to return to the 80s.
