Showers and storms will continue through Tuesday with the highest coverage in Central Texas, while isolated to scattered storms linger in North TX. The main threat with these storms will continue to be isolated instances of flooding due to slow storm motions and rich moisture in place. A few storms may also become strong with gusty winds and small hail.
The period of scattered showers and storms bringing cloudiness and slightly below normal temperatures will come to an end mid to late week, with rain-free and slightly warmer conditions returning. Rain chances diminish after Wednesday, and afternoon highs will gradually return to the mid and upper 90s this weekend.
