An increasingly active weather pattern is setting up across all of North Texas, and it looks like we’ll be dealing with rounds of storms not just tomorrow, but off and on through the entire holiday weekend. Along with the severe weather threat, flooding may become a growing concern in some areas as multiple rounds of heavy rain develop over the coming days.

Good Monday morning! Hope everyone had a great weekend. We managed to squeeze in some decent weather with only a few isolated showers and storms, plus some beautiful rainbows across North Texas Friday and again Sunday evening. Humidity is already in full force this morning with temperatures holding in the mid to upper 70s.
The main weather-maker is a cold front currently moving into southwestern Kansas. That front will slowly push southeast into North Texas late Tuesday morning through Tuesday evening. As it arrives, expect thunderstorms to rapidly redevelop across the area and track south and east through the evening hours.
Main threats Tuesday: • Large hail
• Damaging wind gusts
• Very heavy rainfall
• Localized flooding concerns
Most areas can expect at least 1 inch of rain, with isolated higher totals likely — especially along and southeast of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex where storms may repeatedly move over the same locations.
The front will likely stall nearby Wednesday, acting as a “railroad track” for additional showers and thunderstorms through Wednesday morning and again later Wednesday into Thursday as another disturbance moves in from the west. Some of this rainfall could be heavy at times depending on where the storm track sets up.
Scattered late day showers and strong storms are possible from Friday through Memorial Day. It won't rain all day-every day. Heed caution on area lakes. Lightning will be a concern as well.
Temperature outlook: • Near 90° today
• Falling through the 80s Tuesday behind the front
• Upper 70s to near 80° Wednesday and Thursday
• Low to mid 80s Friday
• Mid to upper 80s heading into Memorial Day weekend
By the time we get through the holiday weekend, many locations across North Texas could pick up 2 to 3 inches of rain, with isolated higher amounts possible southeast of DFW.
Enjoy the quieter weather today while you can — because Mother Nature looks ready to stay busy for a while. Stay weather aware this week, especially Tuesday afternoon and evening.
