The clouds will stick around throughout the day, along with light precipitation.

It won't be an all-day washout, but windshield wipers may be needed while out and about.

The next front is moving in from the northwest and is expected to reach the area by sunrise on Monday.

Shower coverage is likely to increase during the morning drive, so plan for extra time during the morning commute.

Monday is a First Alert Weather Day, as showers will continue into the afternoon hours, with a chance of a few storms possible as the front passes through North Texas. Severe weather is not expected.

While Monday's front will not significantly cool temperatures, a stronger cold front is expected to arrive in North Texas on Wednesday.

This stronger front will bring another round of rain and drop temperatures into the 50s to finish the week.

The highest rainfall totals over the next seven days will be east of I-35, ranging from 0.5 to 1 inch.
