Fort Worth residents should brace for a weather rollercoaster as storms are expected to impact the area on Easter Sunday. A significant chance of thunderstorms will bring heavy rain and possible severe weather before skies clear on Monday, offering a much-needed respite for the start of the workweek.
According to the National Weather Service, Saturday night’s showers and thunderstorms will likely linger into Sunday morning, with heavy rainfall and gusty winds expected. Some storms could even be severe, potentially bringing hail and strong winds to the region. For those with Easter Sunday plans, expect rain chances to be highest between 7 a.m. and 11 a.m., with a 60% chance of showers, tapering off by the afternoon.
