Another Hot Day Across North Texas

FORT WORTH (CBSDFW.COM) - Morning clouds will give way to plenty of sunshine on Tuesday, with high temperatures expected to reach the low 90s once again. Look for about 93 degrees officially at DFW Airport. But there is a small chance for storms on Tuesday evening.

There is a cold front stalled out along a line from west of Wichita Falls down to the Midland and Odessa area. This will trigger late Tuesday afternoon and evening storms that will fizzle out during the overnight hours in Wednesday. These few storms are possible in the western parts of North Texas including Jacksboro, Graham, Breckenridge and Eastland. Large hail and damaging winds will be possible with these storms.

The cold front will wash out on Wednesday and take storm chances out of North Texas altogether. After that, bring on the heat!

The intense heat that chief meteorologist Larry Mowry mentioned in his forecast on Monday will begin taking over North Texas on Wednesday, with high temperatures pushing into the middle 90s. Right now, Thursday looks to be at least in the middle 90s, but perhaps reaching into the upper 90s. Friday and Saturday will definitely be in the upper 90s.

The overall weather pattern looks rain-starved, but we are watching the development of a system in the Gulf of Mexico that could provide increased cloud cover and potential rainfall late into the weekend and early next week. The track of this system is still uncertain -- it could head into Mexico or push into North Texas.

Even if this system does not bring some much-needed rain or clouds, it has the potential to break down the upper level pattern that is responsible for the upper 90-degree, and could send temperatures back into the upper 80s next week.
