Dallas, Texas – Rain chances are expected to return to North and Central Texas early next week, with the highest likelihood for showers and a few isolated thunderstorms on Tuesday, according to the National Weather Service.
Forecasters with the National Weather Service in Fort Worth report that an upper-level disturbance will move into the region late Monday night into Tuesday, increasing moisture and triggering scattered rainfall across much of the area. While rain chances will begin late Monday night, Tuesday is expected to bring the most widespread coverage.
Rain probabilities are forecast to reach around 40 percent across portions of the Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex and surrounding areas, including locations along I-35 through Dallas and Fort Worth, I-20, and US-75. Additional chances extend south toward Waco and Killeen and east toward Corsicana and Palestine.
The National Weather Service indicates that a few isolated thunderstorms may develop, mainly Tuesday afternoon and evening. However, severe weather is not expected, and storms that do form should remain below severe limits. Rainfall amounts are anticipated to remain light, with most locations receiving around one-quarter inch or less.
Outside of the rain chances, temperatures will remain above normal for early February. Afternoon highs are expected to stay mild before, during, and after the rain event, continuing a stretch of unseasonably warm conditions across the region.
Travel impacts are expected to be minimal, though brief reductions in visibility and slick roadways may occur during heavier showers, especially along major corridors such as Interstate 35, Interstate 20, and Interstate 45 during the Tuesday commute.
This pattern may affect commuters, students, and outdoor workers, particularly during peak travel hours Tuesday afternoon and evening.
Residents are encouraged to monitor updated forecasts as rain timing and coverage become more refined, but no significant weather hazards are currently anticipated with this system.
