It’s going to be windy, and then showers and thunderstorms arrive Tuesday in North Texas
It will be a good idea to have an umbrella ready for Tuesday because showers and thunderstorms are headed for North Texas.
Oh, and cold temperatures will be here by late Friday.
Monday was warm and windy with a daytime high in the 60s.
A cold front was expected to arrive late Monday and that will increase the chances of showers and thunderstorms on Tuesday, but North Texans won’t have to worry about freezing temperatures yet, according to the National Weather Service in Fort Worth.
There’s a 20 percent chance of showers early Tuesday, and then it increases to 70 percent during the day.
“The better chances of heavy rainfall will be east and south of here,” said meteorologist Monique Sellers at the NWS in Fort Worth on Monday. “Tarrant County might get an inch of water.”
Sellers noted that counties to the west of Tarrant County might get less than a half inch of rain on Tuesday, while counties to the east may see as much as 3 inches.
Localized flooding will be possible, primarily along and east of Interstate 35.
The high temperature on Tuesday should be in the mid-50s.
Showers and thunderstorms will continue into late Tuesday and early Wednesday.
Rain “should be out of the area by Wednesday afternoon,” Sellers said.
Daytime temperatures on Wednesday will be in the mid-50s.
A second cold front arrives late Friday and North Texans will wake up Saturday morning to temperatures near freezing.
