Fort Worth, Texas – North Texas will shift from summer heat to stormy skies late Tuesday as a cold front pushes into the region, bringing the risk of strong thunderstorms and a sharp drop in temperatures by midweek. Forecasters warn the front could trigger storms with gusty winds and small hail from the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex down through Waco and Killeen.
According to the National Weather Service in Fort Worth, scattered storms are expected late Tuesday afternoon into early Wednesday morning, with the strongest activity likely along and just ahead of the front. Areas including Sherman, Paris, Graham, and Dallas could see quick-hitting storms that may impact evening travel.
Farther south, Waco, Temple, and Killeen face a 50–60% chance of thunderstorms Tuesday night as the boundary slides through Central Texas. Drivers are urged to allow extra travel time and avoid flooded roads. Residents should secure outdoor items and stay weather-aware, especially with the potential for damaging winds.
By Wednesday, temperatures will fall into the 80s across North and Central Texas, with overnight lows dipping into the 60s—bringing noticeable relief from recent heat. Additional advisories may be issued if storms intensify.
