The Trinity River runs just two miles north of Love Field. The river went out of its banks mid-day soon after the rain showed up.

 The river is forecast to get below that yellow line and inside its banks by Monday morning.

It was a cool start Sunday morning. It'll be even colder Monday morning, so make sure to put a jacket on the kids as they head out the door.

We expect a semi-active dryline starting Tuesday and going all the way to Thursday. There will always be at least a slight chance some of these storms could last long enough into the evening to get into our western counties. Below is one model showing just that Tuesday night.

The best rains of spring continue. This is the eighth wettest start to spring in DFW history, of the 124 years of records, and the wettest start in 12 years. 

When is the next big rain? The forecast says Friday:.
