A weak cold front brings scattered thunderstorms and potential severe weather to parts of North Texas

A weak cold front moving into the region from Oklahoma has brought scattered thunderstorms and potential severe weather to parts of North Texas. The weather system is providing mid-level instability, allowing for rain showers and thunderstorms to develop throughout the day. While the front is not expected to cause a significant temperature drop, it offers relief from a prolonged dry spell that has lasted nearly two months. In the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, storms are expected to be widespread between 6 p.m. and 10 p.m., with a 40% to 60% chance of rain. The Texas Panhandle is also seeing rounds of showers and thunderstorms, with a low risk of localized flash flooding and a chance of severe weather including large hail and damaging wind gusts. Meanwhile, in Southeast Texas, the first potential cold front of the season may arrive around September 18-20, but forecasters give it only a 30 percent chance of occurring. Until then, Houston will continue to experience high temperatures in the 90s and scattered afternoon showers.
