Current Weather Forecast
More showers and thunderstorms are in the forecast today. Heavy downpours are likely, especially this morning. Midday rain and thunderstorms will last into the early afternoon before tapering off by mid to late afternoon. Although some storms could produce small hail and gusty winds, the main concern is for possible flooding. The greater concern for severe storms is to the southwest of DFW this morning where a Severe Thunderstorm Watch is in effect until 10 a.m.
This afternoon’s severe weather risk is from DFW to the southeast. Hail, high winds, and a tornado are possible (especially farther southeast).
A Flood Watch is in effect today with the potential for 1 to 3 inches of rain. Some isolated 4-5″ totals are possible. Stay alert and turn around if you encounter flooded roads.
Weather Outlook for the Week
On Wednesday, the day may start with some fog or drizzle, but overall, the rain chance will be much lower with afternoon sunshine returning.
As our upper-low slowly moves away, low rain chances will be possible into Friday.
The weekend weather is looking sunny and dry.
