The heat wave that brought above-normal temperatures to Dallas-Fort Worth over the last few days will finally come to an end Sunday night, according to forecasts.
Sunday — which is the first day of fall — will still have highs in the mid 90s but a cold front approaching North Texas later in the day will bring scattered showers and thunderstorms with it, according to the National Weather Service in Fort Worth. The rain will likely continue overnight into Monday.
The weak cold front will cause more-seasonable temperatures to return. Highs will be in the lower 80s Monday through Saturday in Dallas-Fort Worth with lows hovering around the mid 60s.
Another round of showers and storms will move from west to east across North Texas late Tuesday into Wednesday but then dry conditions will last into the weekend, according to the weather service.
Multiple opportunities for rain and a few storms are expected Monday through Wednesday. Severe weather is not expected at this time.
