Severe weather moves out, bringing brief relief for North Texas ahead of more showers and storms
Storms last night produced damage from intense winds and flooding. The active weather pattern continues this week with more rounds of storms and heavy rain in the forecast. In fact, First Alert Weather Days are now in effect for Wednesday and Thursday.
Monday night, conditions are likely to stay mild with temperatures dipping into the lower 70s in the morning.
A mesoscale convective system is expected to move across the western counties during the early morning commute Tuesday. By Tuesday afternoon, a few storms are likely south of the I-20 corridor. In the afternoon, an isolated storm will also be possible due to daytime heating. These storms are anticipated to stay sub-severe.
Wednesday, another round of storms is in the forecast. There is an abundance of moisture available in the atmosphere, which will be tapped into thanks to a short wave in the upper levels. The heavy rain and rounds of storms will continue through Friday.
Though the severe threat is low, the flooding threat is high. The Weather Prediction Center has already highlighted a slight risk, level 2 out of 4, indicating the risk of scattered incidents of flooding is possible across Texas and Oklahoma.
Through the rest of the week, more heavy rain will be expected. Some areas could see 2 to 4 inches, with isolated pockets of 5 inches of accumulation. Conditions start to clear on Father's Day.
