North and Central Texas

Scattered to widespread thunderstorms are expected today and tonight. Any storm that develops will likely produce heavy rain. Most can expect to receive between 1.5 to 3 inches of rain, but isolated locations across East and Northeast Texas will receive as much as 5 to 5.5 inches.

A flood watch is in effect for Northeast Texas this afternoon and tonight. 1.5 to 3 inches of rain is expected, with isolated amounts up to 5.5 inches. This high rainfall may lead to flash flooding, particularly in urban and low-lying areas. More localized urban flooding is also possible outside of the watch across most of North Texas tonight.

A few strong to severe storms capable of damaging wind gusts and hail are possible on Wednesday, especially during the afternoon and evening. Additional more widespread rainfall will arrive overnight into early Thursday morning, and there will be a threat of heavy rain and flooding.

Multiple rounds of showers and storms are expected Wednesday through Thursday. Expect the heaviest rainfall Wednesday night. Isolated flash flooding is possible, so consider these flood safety tips.

Today and Tonight
East Texas can expect scattered thunderstorms today. There is a low tornado threat with these storms. A line of storms will then move across North and Central Texas this evening and tonight.

Heavy rain is possible with any thunderstorm today. Instances of flash flooding may occur.
