It’s going to be windy, and then showers and thunderstorms arrive Tuesday in North Texas

North Texans should have a good day flying kites on Monday as southerly winds could hit gusts of 35 mph, but it will be a good idea to get an umbrella for Tuesday because showers and thunderstorms are headed for the area.

Oh, and cold temperatures will be here by late Friday, so there’s that weather concern.

The weather forecast for Monday is warm and windy in North Texas, according to the National Weather Service in Fort Worth. The daytime high will be in the lower 60s and the south winds will be 15-25 mph, with some gusts up to 35 mph.

A cold front arrives late Monday and that will increase the chances of showers and thunderstorms on Tuesday, but North Texans won’t have to worry about freezing temperatures.

There’s a 20 percent chance of showers early Tuesday, and then it increases to 70 percent during the day.

“The better chances of heavy rainfall will be east and south of here,” said meteorologist Monique Sellers at the NWS in Fort Worth on Monday. “Tarrant County might get an inch of water.”

Sellers noted that counties to the west of Tarrant County might get less than a half inch of rain on Tuesday while counties to the east may see as much as 3 inches.

The high temperature on Tuesday should be in the mid-50s.

Showers and thunderstorms will continue into late Tuesday and early Wednesday.

Rain “should be out of the area by Wednesday afternoon,” Sellers said.

Daytime temperatures on Wednesday will be in the mid-50s.

A second cold front arrives late Friday and North Texans will wake up Saturday morning to temperatures near freezing.

  • Following the SpaceX playbook: Inside Firefly’s Rocket Ranch

    The $630 billion space industry is expected to grow to $1.8 trillion by 2035, according to the World Economic Forum. Much of that growth will come from the emerging commercial space market, led by companies such as Elon Musk’s SpaceX. Many smaller companies are following a similar path. Yahoo Finance got an inside look at how one of those companies operates: Firefly Aerospace. Firefly has multiple facilities outside Austin, TX, and recently doubled the size of its 200-acre rocket ranch to automate large portions of production and reduce costs. Firefly’s mission is to become an end-to-end space transportation company. The company is manufacturing rockets, including an upcoming medium launch vehicle in partnership with Northrop Grumman (NOC), orbital vehicles to service spacecraft on their missions, and landers. One of those landers, Blue Ghost, is set to become the third American commercial spacecraft to attempt a lunar landing later this year. That mission is backed by a $112 million NASA grant, part of the agency’s $2.6 billion Commercial Lunar Payload Services initiative, aimed at developing reliable transportation options to the moon for supplies and research—a step in the Artemis mission to put humans back on the moon. If you’re going to future-proof your portfolio, you need to know what’s NEXT. In this series, Yahoo Finance will feature stories that give a glimpse at the future, and show how companies are making big moves today that will matter tomorrow.
