Dallas Weather: Flood Watch issued in parts of North Texas

DALLAS - The arctic air has moved out, and the rain has moved in. And there are several rain chances this week.

A Flood Watch is in effect for areas to the southeast of the Metropex.

The watch goes into place on Monday night and will stay in place until 6 p.m. on Tuesday.

According to the FOX 4 Weather team, those areas have already seen one to three inches of rain and could see three to five by tomorrow.

Temperatures won’t fall much Monday night, which may cause fog. Some showers are also possible overnight south and southeast of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex.

7-Day Forecast

Widespread rain moves back into the forecast Tuesday morning. That will exit in the afternoon as the next disturbance races through courtesy of an active southern jet stream, which will be roaring over Texas this week. While not warm, it will be less cold than Monday with everyone in the 40s and even a few 50s.

There will be another disturbance on Wednesday, although there may not be as much moisture to work with. That will leave the bulk of the rain chances for areas east of Dallas-Fort Worth with fewer showers elsewhere.

Thursday looks to be a brief break between the systems. While the sun may not be widespread, temps will be mild enough to get us into the 60s as long as we do get at least some sun.

There's at least one more upper-level system in this series slated for Friday, especially from afternoon to evening. Temps will be on the milder side as showers increase ahead of a cold front. 

Once this moves through, we should begin to dry out this weekend. While clouds may linger on Saturday (especially in the morning), temps look to be a little cooler. There's nothing COLD in this forecast through the end of the month!

Sunday should have more sun as temps get back "near normal" in the 50s.

Try your best to stay dry!
