Fort Worth, TX – A stalled cold front is expected to bring heavy rainfall and storms to northwest Texas this weekend, especially from Friday night into early Sunday. The National Weather Service warns that areas north and west of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex could see between 2 to 4 inches of rain, with localized amounts possibly reaching even higher totals. This could lead to road flooding, particularly in areas like Bowie, Sherman, and Graham.
According to the NWS, the majority of North Texas, including Central and East regions, should experience lighter rain with totals of 1 inch or less. However, these areas may still see periods of heavy showers, mainly from Saturday night through midday Sunday.
The weather service urges residents to stay informed and be cautious, particularly while driving. Drivers are advised to avoid flooded roads and remain alert for weather warnings. If rainfall totals do not meet expectations this weekend, more significant rainfall is forecast to return next week.
For those in affected regions, it’s crucial to keep phones charged and ready to receive weather alerts.
