Rain returns to North Texas this week, bringing flood chances
NORTH TEXAS — Tuesday morning will start milder than Monday morning, with lows in the 40s thanks to increased cloud coverage ahead of our next system.
Tuesday afternoon will be seasonable, with temperatures topping out in the upper 50s for DFW. Expect mainly cloudy skies, but we will remain dry for most of the day.
That changes Tuesday night, as scattered showers start to roll into our western counties.
By Wednesday morning, scattered shower activity starts to overspread the rest of the region, gradually getting heavier later in the day, and overnight into Thursday.
Expect heavy rains during this period, especially into early Thursday. We'll be watching the potential for localized flooding, and also the potential for a few strong thunderstorms.
The sunshine returns to end the workweek Friday, with highs in the low to middle 60s.
Saturday marks the first day of February, and it kicks off a beautiful weekend for North Texas. Highs will be in the middle 60s with sunshine on Saturday, warming to the lower 70s with sunshine by Sunday.
