A Severe Thunderstorm Watch and a Tornado Watch are in effect until 8pm. Remain weather aware the rest of today as conditions can quickly change!
Severe thunderstorms are expected to develop across North and Central Texas today. Large hail and damaging wind gusts will be the primary hazards with a lower threat for tornadoes. Locally heavy rainfall may reinvigorate flooding issues across portions of the region. Make sure to have multiple ways to receive warnings today and tonight!
A Flood Watch is now in effect for much of North and Central Texas for late this morning through Thursday evening. Widespread rainfall totals of 1 to 3 inches are expected within the watch area with localized 4 to 5 inch amounts possible. If you encounter flooded roadways, TURN AROUND, DON'T DROWN!
An upper level disturbance will bring a chance of storms on Thursday. Storm chances will be highest across Central Texas in the morning, then North Texas in the afternoon. Some storms may be severe, particularly for areas along and north of I-20.
A hot and humid weekend is in store for the region with highs ranging from the upper 80s to the middle 90s and lows in the upper 60s and low-mid 70s. The high humidity will make it feel even hotter, with afternoon heat index values in the mid 90 to around 105! Stay hydrated if you plan on spending time outdoors this weekend.
