Memorial Day weekend in North Texas is starting out clear and sunny, but storms are on the way and will hamper plans on Monday.

Unfortunately, another calendar holiday in Texas may mean a dark and stormy day. While the start of Memorial Day weekend across the Lone Star State looks promising for cookouts and revelry, the back half of the three-day stretch comes with a tenuous-at-best weather forecast.

Weather and flood threats increase into holiday weekend. Any pause in storminess after the week-long barrage that ended Wednesday is short-lived, as severe weather and flood threats increase into Memorial Day weekend across a big chunk of the south-central United States.
