Updated at 12:53 p.m. Monday.

Short Forecast

Rounds of showers and storms are likely on Monday. It will not rain all day long at any one location, but most places will see at least one round if not multiple rounds of rain during the day.

The overall severe threat is low, but can't rule out an isolated strong to severe storm mainly during the afternoon and evening. Threats from those storms would be strong winds and hail.

Widespread flooding is very unlikely, but any areas that see repeated rounds of heavy rain could see localized flooding of typical flood-prone locations.

Rainfall Amounts

Around half an inch to 1 inch of rain is a safe bet for most of North Texas.

Higher amounts look possible for eastern parts of North Texas into East Texas with lower amount across western North Texas.

Any areas that see repeated rounds of heavy rain or 1 to 2 inches of rain in a short amount of time could see localized flooding given how wet things have been recently.

Flooding of typical flood-prone or low-lying areas would be possible in those locations along with ponding on the roads.
