DALLAS — Here's what to expect this week.
Quick fact:
- Showers and storms continue Monday
- some strong storms possible
- Coldest temperatures of the season by mid-January
Monday is stormy and rainy
The next storm system arrives on Monday, bringing widespread rain and storms to North Texas.
In most cases, rainfall is highest in the morning and decreases in the afternoon and evening, resulting in mainly dry conditions.
In DFW, the day will start with scattered showers and a chance of thunder. Rain and storms will increase from about 9 a.m. to midday. Rain and storms will then move east of DFW into the early to mid-afternoon.
Severe storms are unlikely across North Texas on Monday, but some storms could produce small hail and gusty winds.
Strong winds behind the cold front
A wind advisory will be issued for all of North Texas on Monday. Areas west of the metropolitan area will be the first in line for wind gusts of up to 80 mph, so it will start earlier.
14 day weather forecast
After the rain stops, even colder rain will come. The cold air will be temporary as temperatures return to the 60s by the middle of next week. Rain is possible again Friday as a strong front moves into the region.
This front is expected to bring some of the coldest air of the season so far, with lows below freezing and highs in the 40s (30s in some places). There are no extreme or record-breaking vibes right now. It's just cold. It's winter!
For now, it looks like winter weather is here to stay in North Texas, but we'll continue to monitor any changes.
