Fort Worth, TX – Severe storms are expected to sweep through North and Central Texas late Sunday night into Monday, bringing damaging winds and potential flooding. Areas along the I-35 corridor, including Dallas-Fort Worth, Waco, and Killeen, are at the highest risk.
According to the National Weather Service, the strongest storms will occur between 12 a.m. and 9 a.m. Monday, making early morning travel potentially dangerous. Winds up to 60 mph could damage structures and trees, while localized flooding is likely, especially in low-lying areas. Commuters should check road conditions and use caution near construction zones prone to poor drainage.
Another round of weather shifts arrives midweek as a cold front pushes temperatures below freezing across parts of North Texas. The NWS predicts a 20–40% chance of freezing conditions early Thursday morning, mainly west of U.S. 281. Temperatures could drop into the 30s overnight, affecting vulnerable crops and outdoor water systems.
Rainfall totals for Sunday night’s storms range from 0.5 to 1.5 inches, with isolated spots receiving up to 4 inches. Flood-prone intersections and rural roadways could become impassable during the heaviest rains. Drivers are advised to avoid high-water crossings and allow extra time for travel.
The five-day forecast shows clearing skies by Wednesday, with highs in the 60s to low 70s by Friday. Still, residents should prepare for fluctuating conditions, including a low freeze potential midweek.
