Another cold front is expected to pass through North Texas on Wednesday and Thursday with a line of storms posing a damaging wind threat into the afternoon, according to the National Weather Service.

Strong to severe storms could occur late Wednesday and continue into Thursday with heavy rainfall also possible. That could lead to localized flooding.

There also will be a chance of thunderstorms on Tuesday, primarily across Central and East Texas.

The National Weather Service in Fort Worth said the midweek front is expected to bring an end to the recent unsettled weather North Texas has seen, particularly in April, which was one of the windiest months recorded for the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

Following the storms Thursday, the weather service said in a social media post, North Texans should expect a warm weekend with high temperatures in the 80s and 90s.
