Fort Worth, TX – A soggy week is underway across North and Central Texas as multiple rounds of showers and thunderstorms are expected to continue through the weekend, with the most widespread rainfall likely Thursday night into Friday.

According to the National Weather Service in Fort Worth, widespread rain will develop across the region beginning late Wednesday, intensifying Thursday evening and persisting into Friday. Rain chances remain elevated through Sunday, though some days will see more isolated activity.

Rainfall totals through Sunday could reach up to 4 inches in localized areas, particularly across Central Texas, including Waco, Killeen, and Palestine. Areas farther north, such as the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, Sherman, and Canton, are also likely to experience repeated rounds of showers and isolated thunderstorms.

Forecasters warn that moderate to heavy rainfall may lead to minor flooding, especially in urban and low-lying areas. Residents are advised to use caution when driving through water-covered roads and monitor alerts from local emergency management.

This prolonged wet pattern is unusual for late March, when rainfall typically averages lower across much of the state. Officials recommend keeping updated with local forecasts and being prepared for changing conditions through the weekend.
