Fort Worth, Texas – Drivers across North Texas could face water-covered roads and sudden downpours by late Tuesday night as multiple storm rounds begin targeting the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex.
According to the National Weather Service in Fort Worth, rain chances climb sharply to 60–70% across much of North Texas by Wednesday afternoon, with the highest storm intensity expected Wednesday night into early Thursday. Forecasters warn some storms could turn severe, producing heavy rainfall, gusty winds, and localized flooding.
The I-35 corridor from Denton through Dallas and down toward Waco sits in a prime zone for repeated rainfall. Cities including Plano, McKinney, and Arlington may see multiple rounds of storms within a 24-hour window, increasing runoff risks. In western counties like Cisco and Eastland, rain chances remain elevated near 50–60% through midweek.
By Saturday into Easter Sunday, another system could push rain chances back above 60%, especially across Central and North Texas. That raises the potential for saturated ground and standing water on low-lying roads, particularly near creeks and flood-prone intersections.
Drivers should avoid flooded roadways and allow extra travel time during peak downpours. Charge devices and monitor local alerts as conditions can shift quickly.
Storm chances remain in place through Easter weekend, with additional advisories likely as the pattern evolves.
