Fort Worth, Texas – Scattered thunderstorms with gusty winds and brief downpours could impact commutes across North and Central Texas through Thursday, with areas like Waco, Sherman, and DFW likely to see pop-up showers each afternoon.
According to the National Weather Service in Fort Worth, storms with 20–40% coverage are expected today and again tomorrow, especially in Central Texas. While no severe weather is expected, brief heavy rainfall, occasional lightning, and wind gusts up to 40 mph may accompany these storms.
Cities like Waco, Killeen, and Palestine are more likely to experience scattered activity Thursday, while today’s storms remain isolated in areas like Sherman and the DFW Metroplex. Drivers are urged to take it slow during heavy downpours, which may briefly reduce visibility and traction on the roads.
Peak heat index values could reach the upper 90s to near 100°, adding additional strain to outdoor workers and travelers. Residents are advised to stay hydrated and monitor local alerts in case storm coverage increases or localized flooding develops.
Storm chances taper off by late Thursday, but isolated showers could persist in southern counties. Another update is expected by Thursday morning if conditions change.
