Flood Safety

A Flood Watch is in effect for much of North and Central TX through Friday morning. Average rainfall totals between 2 and 4 inches of rain are expected with isolated higher amounts up to 6 inches through Friday. The exact placement of the 6" pockets of rain remains uncertain, therefore, make sure to check back for additional details over the next 24 hours.

Showers and storms are ongoing this morning ahead of a nearly stalled front. Heavy rain may lead to instances of flash flooding through much of the day. The threat will slowly progress eastward through the afternoon and into tonight. There will also be a risk for strong to isolated severe storms as they produce strong outflow winds. The threat will persist through tomorrow (Friday) as additional waves of heavy precipitation develop across eastern parts of North and Central Texas.

Rain chances will persist through the weekend before drier air moves into the region. Afternoon temperatures will be in the upper 70s to lower 80s with overnight lows in the 50s and 60s.

With the potential for heavy rain and flooding over the next few days, it is important to remember that flash flooding can escalate quickly. Make sure to have multiple ways to receive warnings. Do not drive into flood waters, even if they appear shallow. Turn around, don't drown.
