North Texas Weather - A Brief Break from the Rain?

[TexasStooge]

Today is another nice beginning of the weekend. We're gonna see mostly sunny skies with highs near 80 and calm winds. On Sunday, we're gonna be getting some thunderstorms to start off our early Daylight Savings Time period with our best chances on Sunday Night where rain may be heavy at times, mainly in the western 1/2 of North Texas. High temperatures will fall into the 60s that day, so we're not anticipating anything severe...but you never know.

At this point, the rain on the Wichita Falls, Abilene, and Brownwood line is constantly teasing us. By late tonight, we'll get a downpour that'll last to Monday morning. More than likely, we'll get half an inch at the most.



By the time humpday (Wednesday) has come and gone, we'll have another 1/2 an inch of rain followed by Partially clearing skies. Highs will dip into the 60s by this weekend...luckily, no freezing temperatures are forecasted for this region.
