A cold front will drape across North Texas starting Wednesday. As of now, no severe weather is expected. However, any storm that does initiate has the potential for strong winds, heavy rain and frequent lightning. The cold front will also usher in cooler temperatures by the end of the week.
For the next seven days, temperatures will be hot and humid with highs in the 90s and overnight and morning lows in the 70s and 80s. Rain chances will become more isolated for Sunday and Monday but ramp up by the end of next week.
