Monday is an Ozone Action Day so you will want to limit your time outdoors if you have any upper respiratory issues such as asthma. The air quality alert is in effect for the metroplex and surrounding counties.
Dig out the rain gear and keep it handy all week as we have daily rain this week. It won't be raining all day, every day but several disturbances will move through North Texas sparking off rain and storms each day.
CBS News Texas First Alert meteorologists issued a weather alert for Tuesday due to the threat of strong to severe storms.
Scattered storms are possible to start the day as a disturbance moves through the area. Small hail, gusty winds, and localized flooding are possible. Unfortunately, this could disrupt travel plans across North Texas.
After a lull in activity, we are watching for another round of storms to move in during the late afternoon and evening hours.
The storms will develop to our west along the dryline and track eastward. This round has a greater risk of reaching severe limits with large hail, damaging winds, localized flooding and an isolated tornado.
The flooding risk will increase as we head through the week with widespread rainfall totals of 3"-4".
Please remember to "Turn Around, Don't Drown." Never try and drive through water-covered roadways.
The clouds and rain will keep our temperatures cooler in the low to mid-80s.
