Severe Thunderstorms Threaten Texas as Cold Front Brings Stormy Weather Much of Texas faces a heightened risk of severe thunderstorms on Sunday as a cold front is expected to sweep through the region during the evening. The storm system will disrupt the recent cool and cloudy conditions in South Texas, replacing them with warmer temperatures and an increased likelihood of scattered but strong thunderstorms, particularly in the second half of the day. While Mother’s Day plans may remain dry through the late afternoon, the cold front’s arrival by Sunday evening will trigger significant weather changes. Saturday’s forecast calls for cloudy and muggy conditions across South and Central Texas, with temperatures rising into the low to mid-70s by 10 a.m. High atmospheric moisture levels will create isolated showers and storms in the morning, though rain chances remain low at 20% in San Antonio. By midday, clouds are expected to thin, allowing temperatures to climb into the upper 80s. However, humidity will make the heat feel like the 90s. A few thunderstorms may develop between 3 p.m. and 7 p.m., but they will remain isolated, keeping overall rain chances around 20%. Most of South Texas will stay dry during the day. The severe weather threat intensifies on Sunday as the cold front moves through Texas. Morning temperatures in San Antonio will start in the 70s, rising to the lower to mid-80s by noon. Afternoon highs are projected to reach the lower 90s, with uncomfortable humidity levels persisting. The cold front will begin affecting North Texas by Sunday afternoon, progressing southward into the Hill Country by 7 p.m. and reaching San Antonio by 9-10 p.m. As the front interacts with the humid air mass, thunderstorms are likely to form, potentially producing large hail and damaging wind gusts.#national_weather_service #texas #san_antonio #storm_prediction_center #dallas_fort_worth
DFW Weather: Strong Cold Front Brings Strong Winds and a Brief Cool Down A powerful cold front is set to move through North Texas, bringing gusty winds and a temporary drop in temperatures. The front is expected to arrive around midday Friday, ushering in north winds with gusts ranging from 35 to isolated 40 mph. Temperatures will fall into the 50s overnight Friday, with highs only reaching the upper 60s on Saturday. The strong winds are anticipated to ease during the day on Saturday, though the front will leave behind a noticeable shift in weather patterns. The cold front will pass through the region with dry conditions, adding a few more clouds to the sky and increasing wind speeds. After the front moves through, winds will shift to the northwest, with gusts around 35 mph. The cooler air brought by the front is expected to last only through Saturday before temperatures begin to rise again. Looking ahead, weather trends indicate that temperatures will climb back into the upper 80s as the week progresses. Dry conditions will persist, contributing to ongoing fire risks, particularly in areas west of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. However, a better chance for rain may return to North Texas toward the start of April, with additional precipitation expected on Easter Sunday.
