SUNDAY NIGHT TO MONDAY MORNING (MIDNIGHT TO 3 A.M.)

A line of thunderstorms will start to sweep across North Texas.

Severe storms are possible with this line of storms as well. Damaging winds and large hail will be the main threats. We can’t rule out a spin-up tornado within the line. But since the storms will be in a line, the tornado threat is much lower.

REST OF THIS WEEK

Monday will be cooler and breezy behind the cold front. Most of next week will be very fall-like. 

Another front is due to arrive Thursday into Friday, bringing back chances for showers and storms. That front could have even cooler air behind it with much cooler temperatures by Friday into next weekend.
