Seasonal and Mostly Dry Workweek Ahead

Scattered showers and storms will continue to weaken across the area today before a cold front begins to push east. This front will bring localized heavy rainfall to portions of Central and North Texas, with most counties on track to pick up another inch or so. Isolated flash flooding is possible in Central Texas, especially in areas already receiving 3-4+ inches of rainfall the last two days. Highs will peak in the upper 70s.

Rain will linger across the area on Sunday morning before ending, with sunny & dry weather on tap for next week. Look for warm yet seasonal days in the 80s and 90s with cool nights in the 50s and 60s. Looking ahead past Thursday, warm and dry conditions are expected to continue, with temperatures climbing back into the 90s across the region.
