Texas weather has been chaotic recently, following a deadly EF-2 tornado that hit\u00a0North Texas<\/a> on Saturday, April 25. The sharp temperature swings will continue as a cold front will plummet temperatures and bring severe thunderstorms to parts of Texas this week, according to the National Weather Service<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But before it gets cold, residents in the San Antonio area will see warm,\u00a0humid weather at the beginning of the week. Tuesday is forecast to be\u00a0the hottest day of the week, with moderate to major risk over South Central Texas. Most of the area will see heat indices in the triple digits in the afternoon with humid conditions in place.<\/p>\n

Temperatures will drop on Wednesday afternoon across Central Texas due to the North Texas cold front. Here’s what to know about the cold front and when it will hit Texas.<\/p>\n

Cold front to arrive in North Texas on Tuesday<\/p>\n

The Dallas-Fort Worth area just experienced a tornado and severe thunderstorms that left at least two dead. Daily chances for showers and storms will continue through the rest of this week, with the greatest chances Thursday into Friday. A cold front will also move through late Tuesday into Wednesday, bringing cooler temperatures to end the week.<\/p>\n

Storms are expected to have large hail and damaging winds on Wednesday,\u00a0according to the NWS<\/a>. The threat of heavy rain increases on Friday.<\/p>\n

Given recent precipitation in some portions of North\u00a0and Central Texas, the flooding threat will continue to be\u00a0assessed in the coming days, the NWS warned. Aside from the rainfall, temperatures\u00a0will be in the 60s and 70s to finish out the week.<\/p>\n

Cold front in Central Texas<\/p>\n

After the warm weather, a cooling trend will begin on Wednesday, with highs dropping into the 70s and 80s by next weekend, according to the NWS<\/a>.\u00a0Rain chances are low early in the week, but increase to medium (30\u201350%) on Thursday and Friday, generally favored in the Southern Edwards Plateau, Texas Hill Country and Interstate 35.<\/p>\n

The rain chances will likely linger through Saturday as the front stalls late week in South Texas.<\/p>\n

Rainfall in the Texas Panhandle<\/p>\n

Dry conditions will continue through mid-week, with another day of potentially critical fire weather conditions in\u00a0the Texas Panhandle on Tuesday, according to the NWS. The low-pressure system heading to Texas could bring a chance of widespread rainfall toward the end of the work week.<\/p>\n

With the increased cloud cover and rainfall chances, high temperatures will drop to well below average, according to the NWS.<\/p>\n
