Fort Worth, TX – North Texas residents should prepare for wet and potentially stormy weather starting on Christmas Eve, as a strong cold front brings widespread showers and thunderstorms to the region. A low threat of isolated severe storms is forecast Tuesday afternoon, particularly in Central Texas, with the main risks being hail and damaging wind gusts.
According to the National Weather Service in Fort Worth, the first wave of storms will develop Tuesday morning, lasting into the evening. Travelers should remain weather-aware and monitor conditions, especially along I-35 and other major highways. Mild temperatures are expected, with highs near 67°F and winds shifting from south to northwest late in the day.
