Ali Turiano Foresees Rain Chances Rising Monday for Dallas Weather

Dallas weather will start the work week with showers and storms, and Ali Turiano said the highest rain chances on Monday will be from the metroplex to the south and east. Highs are expected to top out in the low- to mid-80s.

Several inches of rain are possible primarily south of Interstate 20, while the severe weather threat remains low. A Flood Watch is in effect for portions of Central Texas through Monday afternoon, including the Waco area, Corsicana, and Athens.

Ali Turiano Monday forecast

Turiano, a FOX 4 Weather meteorologist, gave the update on the Monday forecast as Dallas begins the work week needing an umbrella. The coverage area extends beyond the city itself, with the heaviest rain chances aimed south and east of the metroplex rather than centered over Dallas.

That setup leaves some communities closer to the main rain corridor than others. Areas south of Interstate 20 face the strongest chance for several inches of rain, while the severe weather threat stays low even with the wetter pattern.

Central Texas Flood Watch

The Flood Watch covers portions of Central Texas through Monday afternoon, with the Waco area, Corsicana, and Athens listed in the alert. For readers in those places, the day carries both the rain threat and the possibility of extended wet periods that can slow travel and outdoor plans.

Tuesday brings a slight chance of rain southeast of the metroplex, followed by partly sunny skies in the afternoon. Temperatures should rise back into the upper 80s or low 90s.

Tuesday and midweek warmth

Drier conditions midweek are expected to allow temperatures to climb back into the 90s, and the heat index could return to the triple digits from Wednesday through Sunday. Scattered showers and storms are expected heading into the weekend, keeping the pattern unsettled after the early-week rain.

For now, the most useful read for Dallas is simple: Monday stays cooler and wetter, the heaviest rain favors areas south and east, and the late-week turn brings back heat fast.
