The culprit? A stationary front that is continued to be draped across the region, sparking the chance of storms, the FOX Forecast Center said. There is also an upper-level disturbance moving through the Four Corners that will also aide with lift. 

Texas and Oklahoma won’t be the only states to see rain, as parts of the Southern Rockies of Colorado could see some storms.
