Dallas–Fort Worth, TX – Rain chances are returning to North and East Texas late tonight and are expected to linger through Wednesday, bringing scattered light showers but limited rainfall totals for most communities.
According to the National Weather Service Fort Worth, the first round of light rain is expected to arrive overnight tonight, continuing on and off throughout the day Wednesday before tapering off by Wednesday evening. Forecasters say the highest rain chances and totals will be concentrated across East Texas, while areas farther west see more limited coverage.
Rainfall amounts are expected to stay around half an inch or less, with most North Texas locations—including the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex—likely receiving lighter totals. East Texas communities, including areas near Palestine, Canton, and Paris, could see the highest accumulation, though flooding is not expected at this time.
The Wednesday rain chances vary by location:
- DFW Metroplex: 20–40% chance
- Waco and Killeen: Around 20–40%
- East Texas: 50–80% chance in some areas
Temperatures will remain seasonable, and no severe weather is anticipated. However, commuters should be prepared for wet roads during the Wednesday morning and evening drive, especially in East Texas and along major travel corridors.
Meteorologists note that this system is primarily a nuisance rainmaker, but it could help ease dry conditions in parts of the region.
Residents are encouraged to monitor updated forecasts, especially if travel plans are scheduled for Wednesday.
