Our quiet weather is about to come to an end with thunderstorms in the forecast arriving Sunday evening into Monday morning. The good news, however, is that we need the rain across North Texas.
Mostly cloudy conditions are expected as we start Sunday, with a scattered showers developing by midday. While a few rumbles of thunder are possible Sunday afternoon, no severe weather is expected during the daytime hours.
The chance for more widespread showers and thunderstorms, and the potential for severe storms, arrives Sunday evening into early Monday.

Damaging winds and hail will be the primary concerns. Even still, we can't completely rule out a quick spin-up tornado within the line of storms.
The good news is that the rain totals should be generous with much of the area picking up over a half inch of rain. Some spots could easily receive over an inch of rain (especially farther west). The bad news is that there could be some heavy rain around for the morning drive on Monday.
After the rain clears, a Pacific cold front will push into North Texas. A stronger cold front arrives by Tuesday night. This frontal passage will drop highs into the upper-50s to lower-60s and lows ranging from the mid-30s to mid-40s. Frost could be possible for some by Thursday and Friday mornings.
