Dallas, Texas – Strong to severe storms could impact North and Central Texas through early Saturday, with heavy rain, frequent lightning, and gusty winds expected across key cities including Dallas, Fort Worth, and Sherman.
According to the National Weather Service in Fort Worth, a complex of storms may move in from the northwest early Friday morning, bringing a renewed threat of flooding and strong winds, especially north of I-20. Areas like Gainesville, Cisco, and Graham are in the path of the most intense overnight activity. Isolated storms are possible around DFW and Waco by Friday afternoon, depending on earlier storm development.
Saturday morning could see another round of organized thunderstorms across the Red River Valley and northern counties. The primary hazards include urban street flooding, frequent lightning, and strong gusts—prompting officials to urge drivers to avoid flooded roads and have multiple ways to receive alerts.
In Dallas-Fort Worth, localized power outages and slick roads could cause delays during the Friday morning commute. Sherman may see the most consistent rainfall by Friday night, while areas farther south like Killeen and Palestine are expected to see lighter activity.
Storms may persist into Saturday afternoon, and additional watches or warnings could be issued as conditions evolve.
