Fort Worth, Texas – Drivers across North and Central Texas could face hazardous flooding through Friday as multiple rounds of heavy rain soak the region, particularly south of I-20, including the Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex.
According to the National Weather Service in Fort Worth, 2 to 4 inches of rain are expected across the region, with localized areas potentially seeing 5 to 7 inches. The heaviest rainfall is projected to impact communities near and south of I-20, including Waco, Killeen, and parts of East Texas like Palestine and Canton.
Road conditions may rapidly deteriorate, especially in low-lying or flood-prone areas. Emergency officials urge residents to avoid driving through standing water. Key highways like I-35, I-45, and local routes around DFW, Waco, and Killeen may experience delays or closures.
Travelers are advised to check road conditions before leaving, allow extra time for detours, and have alternate routes ready. Flash flooding remains the primary concern, especially during peak rain hours through late Friday.
Warnings remain active through Friday evening, and more alerts may follow depending on rainfall intensity.
