Fort Worth, Texas – Summer storms refuse to let up across north and central Texas as a Flood Watch remains in effect for the Fort Worth region—including key stretches of I-35 and I-20—until 7 p.m. Sunday. Local roads are slick, low-water crossings are dangerous, and urban flooding could develop quickly as rainfall totals of 1 to 3 inches continue, with isolated pockets up to 6 inches.
According to the National Weather Service in Fort Worth, heavy rain and thunderstorms will dominate much of Sunday, especially for Tarrant, Dallas, and surrounding counties. The alert covers all major arteries from Granbury to McKinney, including the city of Fort Worth, where poor drainage and ponding could make travel hazardous. Drivers should avoid flooded roadways, especially along I-35, I-20, and secondary routes known for high water.
Localized flooding may close lanes, slow commutes, and threaten neighborhoods near creeks and streams. Residents are urged to monitor weather updates, charge mobile devices, and prepare for sudden changes. If you see water covering the road, turn around—don’t risk crossing.
Storms are expected to taper off Sunday evening, setting up a quieter start for Monday, July 14. Partly sunny skies will return Monday with only a 30% chance of afternoon thunderstorms and a high near 89°F. Tuesday brings mostly sunny, dry weather with highs reaching 93°F—typical July heat. The warming trend continues through the week, with sunny days and highs climbing into the upper 90s by Friday. No additional flooding is expected after Sunday, but another round of storms is possible by the weekend.
Warnings remain in effect until 7 p.m. Sunday—stay alert and watch for changing conditions.
