TOMORROW
Clouds remain, much cooler with temps in 50s all day with a north wind blowing. More rain will be possible in the afternoon and evening.
FRIDAY AND SATURDAY…
Finally some dry weather, and probably a little bit of sunshine. Still cool though with highs in the 50s and lows in the 30s.
SUNDAY AND MONDAY…
Yet another upper level low will move toward the southern plains. This will bring widespread cloudiness and rain to the area starting Sunday into Monday. Heavy rain will be possible during this time frame especially on Monday. There will likely be some wintry precip falling in the Panhandle and Oklahoma, but it does not appear that the cold air will make it into North Texas before the precip ends for us to see any wintry weather, but it is something to watch for late Monday into Tuesday.
