Large hail and damaging winds will be the main hazards associated with this storm activity. Additional showers and storms are expected to develop in the afternoon and evening as a cold front pushes south across the region.

All hazards are possible with the greatest threat mainly along and east of I-35. The activity should push south of the North Texas region by midnight with breezy northerly winds expected behind the front.

That won't be the last chance of rain for North Texas this week. An extended outlook from the NWS shows daily chances for showers and storms through the rest of the week, with the greatest chances on Thursday and Friday.

After the Tuesday cold front, cooler temperatures will arrive to end the week. Some storms could become strong on Wednesday, while the threat for heavy rain increases by Friday.

In other news, the NWS released preliminary damage survey results for two tornadoes that hit Wise and Parker counties on April 25. Wise County authorities confirmed one fatality as a result of the tornado. Another fatality occurred in Parker County, but was associated with very strong winds and not the tornado.
