Cold front could bring more severe weather to Texas this week A new cold front is expected to bring another round of severe weather to Texas, with strong storms anticipated across the state on Tuesday and Wednesday. Following a weekend of intense thunderstorms, forecasters warn that Houston and surrounding areas may face additional rough weather as the cold front moves through. The National Weather Service (NWS) Houston-Galveston Office reported that a slow-moving cold front had already brought widespread rain, with some regions recording up to five inches of rainfall and large hail warnings. The front is predicted to retreat northward Sunday evening into Sunday night, returning increased humidity and southerly winds to Southeast Texas. However, as this cold front moves out, another is expected to push in, potentially bringing strong storms on Tuesday and Wednesday. While the exact timing of the new cold front remains uncertain, the NWS Houston-Galveston Office estimates it will likely arrive in Houston between Tuesday night and Wednesday afternoon. Forecasters noted a 15-percent chance of severe storms, classified as a slight risk, ahead of and along the cold front. The daily forecast indicates wind gusts could reach 25 miles per hour Tuesday night, with a 50-percent chance of thunderstorms after 1 a.m. Precipitation chances rise to 70 percent on Wednesday, bringing showers and a possible thunderstorm before 1 p.m. Temperatures are expected to drop to a low of 54 degrees by Wednesday night. Patchy dense fog is also anticipated along the coast until the cold front passes on Thursday. Forecasters described the remainder of the week as "rather pleasant" with high pressure expected to dominate, leading to calmer conditions.#texas #houston #national_weather_service_houston_galveston #national_weather_service_dallas_fort_worth #national_weather_service_austin_san_antonio
