The outlook for the midweek is sunny and clear, before chances of showers return on Wednesday night, as determined by forecasters. The weather service advises that showers and thunderstorms could become more frequent late Wednesday and into Thursday, holding a 40% chance of occurrence.
For those living north of I-20 into the Texoma region, there is a noted low potential for flooding from Saturday through Monday due to the heavy rainfall expected in these areas.

Dallasites should prepare for potential disruptions and stay alert to updates from weather officials as conditions evolve.
