The calm winds combined with the rapidly cooling temperatures overnight will promote fog to form. The threat for patchy fog will mainly lie east of I-35 before 9 a.m. Be sure to take it slow and use low-beam headlights.

By late Monday morning, the fog will dissipate, and winds will gradually shift from the southwest, bringing dry air across North Texas. Over the next few days, dry air will encompass West Texas and cities west of I-35, increasing the threat of fire danger. Any flame that does flare up has the potential to spread rapidly.

West of I-35, there will be heightened fire danger, while east of I-35, there is a threat for storms on Wednesday. 

This is due to a dryline set up as well as an upper-level disturbance. Though there is still uncertainty to this forecast, now is the time to prepare for an isolated risk of hail and possibly strong winds during Wednesday afternoon.
