A cold front will bring additional chances for showers and storms on Monday, mostly near and south of I-20. Locations across Central Texas have the highest potential to see a stronger storm capable of gusty downburst winds during the afternoon or evening hours. The cold front will bring slightly cooler and drier air to North Texas, but Central Texas will still see heat index values near 105 during the afternoon.
