Monday will be cold and rainy in Dallas-Fort Worth.

Rain will begin spreading across North and Central Texas on Monday morning as a storm system sweeps across the Southern Plains, according to the National Weather Service in Fort Worth.

Cold and rainy conditions will become widespread by midday, with isolated thunderstorms. Severe weather isn’t expected, but some storms could become strong with small hail across eastern Central Texas by Monday afternoon.

Isolated storms will be possible Monday afternoon mainly for areas east of I-35 and south of I-20. Lightning will be the primary threat.

In the Fort Worth area, between a tenth and quarter of an inch of rain is expected. The high temperature will be around 45.

It will be just cold enough along the Red River and northeast counties at times to generate a mix of either very light rain and snow, but more likely just snow flurries or sprinkles, the weather service said. No significant accumulations or travel impacts are expected, though a dusting of snow on grass and vehicles may be seen.

Winter weather accumulations and possible travel impacts are expected to remain farther north, across parts of Oklahoma.

Precipitation is expected to end from west to east from late afternoon through the evening hours.

In Fort Worth, the low temperature will be around 37 overnight with a high of 49 expected Tuesday.

Brisk north and northwest winds 10 to 15 mph are expected early Tuesday morning.
