A few showers and an isolated storm or two will be possible through the early afternoon Wednesday, mainly west of I-35. Most areas will only see light rain amounts, if any, during the daytime. Heading into Wednesday evening, more widespread showers and storms will develop, initially out west. These storms will contain an isolated threat for large hail and also contain a threat for locally heavy rain. Be ready to alter any outdoor plans, and remember to never cross flooded roads!
Showers and storms will be ongoing at the start of Thursday morning, with additional storms expected in the afternoon and continuing into Thursday evening/night. A few stronger storms may contain gusty winds, and heavy rain will also lead to an isolated flooding threat. The flood threat is dependent on areas that receive higher rain totals Wednesday night, so the exact location is uncertain. Most likely rain totals are 1-2", but about 10% of the area may see localized amounts near 4" of rain. Timing and areal coverage will continue to be refined.
Unseasonably warm conditions will continue today, with a high chance of the record highs at both Waco and DFW (official climate sites) being tied or broken. Highs will be in the 80s areawide.
