Fort Worth, Texas – Flash flooding and strong thunderstorms will continue to hammer North Texas on Tuesday, with the heaviest impact expected through the evening commute in Fort Worth.
According to the National Weather Service, a Flash Flood Warning remains in effect until 6 a.m. Tuesday, with a Severe Thunderstorm Watch active until 5 a.m. Damaging winds, frequent lightning, and localized flooding are the biggest threats, especially along low-lying areas and major routes like I-35 and I-20. Up to two inches of rain could fall within short bursts, making roads hazardous during peak travel times.
