| Weather Concerns | A cold front bisected the forecast area, roughly along a line from Bonham to Dallas to Waco to Killeen. Cooler temperatures, drier air, and gusty northwest winds moved in behind the front. The initial wind gust behind the front packed a punch, with most locations gusting up to 40 mph before settling to around 25-30 mph. Gusty winds continued through the afternoon before falling below 10 mph in the evening. |
