Original story:

By midnight, all of North Texas was expected to be in the clear as far as rain was concerned, and we are dry into Sunday morning.

Sunday will be dry, breezy, and cool. The morning will start out with a good deal of cloud cover, and clouds will slowly clear from southwest to northeast through the day. Northeastern areas will be stuck in the clouds the longest. High temps on Sunday will depend on how much cloud cover you see. Areas stuck in the clouds will have highs only in the low to mid 60s vs. areas who see sun will have highs in the upper 60s or even low 70s.

Sunshine returns area-wide by Monday with highs back in the 70s area-wide as well.
