Above average temperatures for North Texas most of the week before scattered rain chances

Sunday was a beautiful day in North Texas, with sunshine and high temps topping out near 80°, putting us 20° above normal for this point in the year.

Monday will be similar, with highs close to 80°, but clouds will gradually build throughout the day. This is all Pacific moisture as an area of low pressure moves off the Baja Peninsula and starts to head our way.

Most of the daytime hours on Tuesday look dry, but come Tuesday evening, rain chances build from the west. Expect scattered rain with just about 30% coverage Tuesday evening and early overnight into Wednesday. Better chances look to be to the northwest of the metroplex.

We're then dry and warm the rest of the day Wednesday and Thursday, out ahead of better rain chances come Friday evening.

By Friday evening and into the start of the weekend, an area of low pressure and a cold front move into the region, bringing more widespread rain chances to North Texas.

We'll keep an eye on the timing, but expect at least a wet start to the weekend and to Valentine's Day. Most of that rain looks to clear out in the first half of the weekend.
