However, there continues to be a low to medium chance some across North Texas remain below freezing all afternoon Friday, with the best chances near the Red River.

The NWS forecasts a 20% chance of freezing rain across parts of North Texas Sunday night into Monday morning. If freezing rain occurs, minimal impacts are expected due to temperatures rising above freezing by mid-morning and additional rain melting any ice that accumulates overnight.

We will transition from a cold and dry pattern this weekend to a mild and rainy pattern next week. High temperatures will go from the 30s on Sunday to the 40s on Monday to the 60s for the rest of the week. Slightly cooler weather is expected on Friday of next week.

NWS Forecasters say they are confident that the highest rain totals will remain near the Gulf Coast with the highest totals locally being across eastern Central Texas. Average totals in this region are around 3- 4".
