On Easter Sunday, North Texas has a high chance of showers and storms during the early morning hours, bringing a flood threat as a cold front moves through.
However, by the time it reaches mid-morning and early afternoon, most of those showers start to push out to the east.
As the afternoon hours approach, expect some sun as the cold front will have moved through the area. Temperatures start in the lower 60s during the morning, then head to the mid-70s during the afternoon.
