This week
Clouds and rain chances return Monday, but severe storms are very unlikely.
Clouds will be around to start the day with some patchy drizzle possible out of those clouds. Spotty to scattered showers or storms are possible through the day Monday, but not everyone will see actual rain.
Election Day (Tuesday) looks dry, warm, and breezy with highs around 80°.
Late week, another cold front arrives, bringing much cooler weather back to North Texas for Friday into the weekend. Rain chances look pretty minimal with that front, but there might be some isolated showers or storms Thursday night.
Temps next weekend look to be potentially some of the coolest we've seen all fall.
