Severe storms left thousands of people in north Texas without power on Sunday night as a week of dangerous downpours begins.

A cold front is likely to remain stalled over Central Texas to start the workweek, bringing a chance of thunderstorms that could be severe Monday night into Tuesday, according to the National Weather Service in Dallas/Fort Worth. Impact areas are likely to be between the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex and Austin.

Sunday night/Monday morning storms have cleared across most of North Texas. Much of the day will be quiet and drier. Expect a mix of sunshine and clouds with a light north wind. Highs will be lower than yesterday, in the 80s. Don't get too comfortable, more storms are in the forecast.
