Fort Worth, TX – Spotty showers and thunderstorms are expected to continue across North Texas this afternoon through Sunday night, with the greatest concern centered along the Interstate 35 corridor impacting Fort Worth, Dallas, and surrounding communities.
According to the US National Weather Service Fort Worth office, scattered storms will persist through Saturday afternoon and evening, bringing hazards such as frequent lightning, gusty winds, and small hail. A stronger round of storms is expected to develop west of I-35 after midnight and track east overnight, weakening as it moves through the region.
Drivers along I-35, including stretches through Fort Worth, Denton County, and into Dallas County, could encounter reduced visibility, slick roads, and brief delays—especially during heavier downpours late tonight.
Storm chances continue into Sunday morning before gradually diminishing. However, forecasters note a 40–60% chance of additional storms redeveloping Sunday afternoon and evening. Some of these storms could become strong to severe, with the primary threats including damaging winds and large hail.
There is also a conditional risk of isolated tornadoes if storms form along a developing dryline Sunday night, mainly west of the I-35 corridor. Locally heavy rainfall may lead to ponding on roadways, particularly in low-lying or flood-prone areas.
Residents and commuters across the Dallas-Fort Worth metro area are urged to monitor weather updates and use caution when traveling, especially during periods of heavier rainfall or lightning.
