Cool temperatures and thunderstorms are expected across North Texas in the coming days.

Much of the Lone Star State saw temperatures drop into the 50s with the arrival of a cold front.

In fact, the National Weather Service in Fort Worth reported that Waco broke its record for its lowest maximum temperature on April 23 by logging 56 degrees. Prior to this, the lowest maximum temperature stood at 59 degrees, which had been set in 1995.

While the DFW area did experience unseasonably colder temperatures with a predicted 60-70% chance of breaking a record, it did not come to pass.

The region normally experiences high temperatures of 78 degrees this time of year, but a record lowest maximum temperature was set in 1931 at 57 degrees.

As for the coming weather, the NWS predicts a quiet beginning to the week on April 24. Cloudy skies and temperatures ranging in the 60s across the region are expected.

But this mild weather will not last for very long.

The threat of severe weather returns April 25-26, with on-and-off isolated storms predicted across DFW. Severe weather is expected during the afternoon to evening hours.

Jason Dunn with the NWS in Fort Worth told The Dallas Express that the metroplex should see a “decent coverage” of showers and storms across the region.

“Now, the severe threat tomorrow may be a little more dependent on how warm we get and we will continue with that on Wednesday,” said Dunn.

Storm chances will rise on Tuesday with the arrival of a warm front from the south. The NWS warns that these storms are expected to produce all hazards, including hail, damaging winds, flooding, and even tornadoes.

Citizens are warned that the threat of tornadoes may increase if temperatures rise due to an oncoming warm front. Because of this, storm predictions are subject to change.

Similar storm conditions are expected on April 26 with the arrival of a cold front from the north. The primary threats for this day will be hail and damaging winds, but the possibility of a tornado has not been ruled out.

This front will push quickly through the region and leave behind cooler temperatures in its wake.
