A cold front from Oklahoma is headed for North Texas this evening and is expected to bring cool temperatures to the region on Saturday morning.<\/p>\n

The National Weather Service Fort Worth\/Dallas issued a bulletin<\/a> about Saturday’s storm chances on Friday afternoon. According to the bulletin, a weakening line of storms is expected along the front as it crosses into North Texas.<\/p>\n

The front is expected to progress southward through the morning hours with additional shower and thunderstorm development occurring in the late morning to early afternoon hours.<\/p>\n

With some of these storms may come a threat for hail. The most likely hail size will be below 1 inch in diameter, however a few isolated instances of hail larger than that cannot be ruled out.<\/p>\n

All thunderstorm activity is expected to shift southward by Saturday night, leaving dry and cool conditions going into Sunday morning.<\/p>\n

Following this weekend’s weather pattern, a cooler airmass will settle into North and Central Texas early next week. That will keep temperatures in the 60s and low 70s Monday and Tuesday.<\/p>\n

A gradual warming will follow, with highs returning to the upper 70s and low 80s by Wednesday. Each day will bring low chances for showers and a few thunderstorms, with the best chances generally across Central Texas.<\/p>\n

According to the U.S. Drought Monitor summary<\/a> for April 14, the month saw more above-normal temperatures. However, some of the greatest precipitation and improvement came in Central and West Texas.<\/p>\n

Oklahoma and much of Central and West Texas received more than 150% of normal precipitation. That resulted in the most significant improvements to the map that month, with much of central, southern, and southeastern portions of the state seeing a full-category improvement in drought conditions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A cold front from Oklahoma is headed for North Texas this evening and is expected to bring cool…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":255247,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[116,118,117],"class_list":{"0":"post-255246","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-fort-worth","8":"tag-fort-worth","9":"tag-fort-worth-headlines","10":"tag-fort-worth-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/255246","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=255246"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/255246\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/255247"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=255246"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=255246"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=255246"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
