.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight.

Rain and thunderstorms will continue today across parts of North and

highest chances to the east. While widespread heavy rainfall is not
anticipated, given the recent heavy rains, any additional rainfall
could aggravate any ongoing flooding.

approach North Texas, bringing another chance for rain and
thunderstorms that will continue through the end of the week.
