Scattered Storms and Rain Expected Across North and Central Texas
Scattered showers and thunderstorms are forecasted to develop across North and Central Texas this afternoon, with rain and isolated storms expected to linger overnight along the I-35 corridor. Although severe weather is not anticipated, residents should be prepared for localized heavy rainfall, frequent lightning, and gusty winds.
Areas Most Likely to See Rain
According to the National Weather Service in Fort Worth, the highest chances of rain will be in and around the Dallas-Fort Worth area, extending toward Canton and Palestine, with heavier pockets expected west near Cisco. These storms could cause brief street flooding in low-lying or poorly-drained areas, particularly during the evening commute.
Safety Tips for Drivers and Outdoor Activities
Drivers are urged to reduce speed on wet roads, avoid flooded intersections, and be prepared for sudden lightning. Outdoor activities, especially in open areas, should be paused when storms approach. Winds could briefly gust above 30 mph in stronger storm cells.
Storms to Diminish by Wednesday Morning
Rain activity is expected to taper off by early Wednesday, though some isolated showers may persist south of the Metroplex. Additional storm chances could return later in the week as humid conditions remain in the area.
