Fort Worth, Texas – Outdoor plans across North Texas could quickly turn hazardous by Saturday afternoon as strong storms develop, bringing a risk of flooding and severe weather that could linger into early next week.
According to the National Weather Service in Fort Worth, an active weather pattern will set up Saturday afternoon and evening, with the greatest storm coverage expected across areas including Dallas-Fort Worth, Waco, Killeen, and surrounding communities. Storms may produce large hail, damaging wind gusts, and locally heavy rainfall.
The threat expands Sunday and Monday, with repeated rounds of storms increasing the risk for localized flooding, especially in low-lying and poor drainage areas. Cities along the I-35 corridor, including Denton, Dallas, and Temple, could see periods of heavy rain that impact travel.
Drivers should be prepared for rapidly changing conditions, including water-covered roads and reduced visibility. Never attempt to drive through flooded roadways, and monitor alerts closely as warnings may be issued with little lead time.
The unsettled pattern is expected to continue into early next week, with additional updates likely as confidence in timing and impacts improves.
