North Texas Flooded: Heavy Rain to Continue This Weekend

North Texas faces significant rainfall and flooding risks throughout the weekend. An upper-level low-pressure system is drawing moisture from the Gulf, prompting concerns for heavy downpours over the next 36 hours, with localized totals potentially reaching 6 to 8 inches. The ground is currently saturated, exacerbating flooding in low-lying areas. A Flood Watch remains in effect until 4 p.m. on Sunday.

Showers and storms are anticipated to move across the region, tapering off in the early afternoon Saturday before redeveloping later in the day and into the evening. Isolated severe storms are possible, bringing damaging winds, hail, lightning, and intense rainfall rates. Saturday will be cloudy with highs in the mid-80s.

Sunday is expected to see additional storm chances through the afternoon, with conditions clearing by the evening. Temperatures will rise to the low 90s, with heat index values in the upper 90s. Residents are advised to stay hydrated. Looking ahead to next week, a high-pressure system will usher in full-force summer heat, with highs in the mid- to upper-90s and heat index values nearing 100 degrees.
