DALLAS – Central and South Texas face heavy downpours and flash flood warnings near Corpus Christi today, but North Texas will see mostly dry conditions alongside persistent cloud cover and a weekend cold front.
Sunday forecast
A slow-moving low-pressure system pushing from northwestern Mexico into Texas is driving the heavy precipitation in southern parts of the state. In the Dallas-Fort Worth area, overnight showers dissipated Sunday morning, leaving only light, scattered moisture primarily between Freestone and Anderson counties. Drivers traveling south of Interstate 20 toward southern Tarrant and Dallas counties were urged to take caution on potentially slick roads.
Despite dense overcast skies, Sunday afternoon temperatures in North Texas are expected to remain seasonable, reaching the upper 60s to lower 70s.
Monday forecast
A return of southerly winds on Monday will bring slightly warmer air, pushing highs into the low-to-mid 70s under continued mostly cloudy skies. The low-pressure system shifting northeast on Tuesday brings a slight 20% chance of isolated, pop-up showers, mainly for northern counties, though rainfall totals will remain minimal.
Weather this week
A warming trend will peak Wednesday afternoon with temperatures reaching near 78 degrees ahead of an approaching cold front.…
