We issued a First Alert Weather Day to ensure you aren't surprised when we jump back two seasons in 24 hours. Indoors will be the place to be tomorrow for your Super Bowl watch party.

No severe weather is expected, but there could be some strong storms on Wednesday just south of the Metroplex. Heavy rain is the main threat, with some areas potentially receiving close to 3 inches of rain over the two days.

All the warm weather last week will be a distant memory this week. It will get warmer as we head into the weekend but don't expect to see highs in the 80s again anytime soon.
