Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas — Showers and thunderstorms will continue across North Texas this afternoon and evening, bringing occasional heavy rain and gusty winds behind a passing cold front.
According to the National Weather Service in Fort Worth, severe storms are no longer expected, but a few stronger storms could still develop as the system moves across the region Saturday.
Forecasters say isolated storms may produce small hail, gusty winds and localized minor flooding, particularly in areas that receive heavier downpours. Lightning will also remain possible with stronger cells moving through the Dallas–Fort Worth metro area.
Weather officials say the rain is expected to gradually move west to east through the evening, with most storm activity exiting North Texas later tonight. Radar trends indicate the line of storms shifting steadily toward eastern parts of the region.
While widespread severe weather is not anticipated, the National Weather Service advises residents to remain cautious during heavier storms, especially when traveling.
Drivers should avoid flooded roadways and never attempt to cross water-covered streets. Even shallow water can hide roadway damage or sweep vehicles off the road.
A few showers or storms may linger overnight in parts of Central Texas after the main system moves out of the Dallas–Fort Worth region.
The afternoon and evening rain could impact commuters, service workers, and students traveling across the metroplex, particularly during periods of heavier rainfall.
Officials recommend staying indoors during lightning and monitoring updated forecasts as conditions evolve through the evening.
