FORT WORTH, TX – Morning clouds stretch low across North Texas as warm air feeds a line of storms sweeping toward the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex. Roads glisten, creeks run high, and the air feels heavy with early humidity — a clear sign of the dynamic start to Thanksgiving week.
A Flood Watch remains in effect until 3 p.m. Monday, according to the National Weather Service in Fort Worth, with locally heavy rain and isolated thunderstorms expected. Storms could bring one to two inches of rain in some areas, especially along and east of I-35. Low-lying roads, drainage ditches, and flood-prone intersections could quickly fill with water during heavier downpours.
By late afternoon, the system pushes east and calmer conditions return. Sunshine reclaims the region Tuesday, with highs near 70°F and light winds. Thanksgiving Day looks ideal — sunny skies, light breezes, and afternoon temperatures around 61°F, perfect for travel or outdoor plans.
Looking toward the weekend, clouds may drift back in Friday, but no major systems appear on the horizon.
