Dallas, Texas – Severe weather is expected to impact North Texas overnight into the early morning of June 4, 2025, as the First Alert Weather team monitors ongoing storm conditions. A cold front is currently moving storms southwest of the Metroplex, advancing them further south with significant risks of damaging winds and flash flooding during late-night hours.
A flash flood warning is active for Collin, Dallas, and Denton counties, remaining in effect until 3 a.m. Reports indicate that rainfall rates have reached up to 2.5 inches per hour in parts of these counties, significantly elevating flood risks. Flood warnings are also issued for several locations including the Elm Fork Trinity River near Carrollton and the Trinity River in Dallas, along with White Rock Creek at Greenville Avenue in Dallas. Residents are strongly discouraged from driving through flooded areas.
In addition to flash flood warnings, a severe thunderstorm watch is currently in place for regions including Delta, Ellis, Hopkins, Hunt, Kaufman, Lamar, Navarro, Rains, Rockwall, and Van Zandt counties until 2 a.m. Various atmospheric conditions suggest that storms may develop throughout the evening, particularly after 4 p.m., with the potential for hail and high winds.
The upcoming weather forecast predicts continued cloudiness on Wednesday with rain expected in the eastern counties. The cold front currently passing through could stall, triggering additional afternoon storms that may bring localized heavy rainfall and severe weather, with prevalent risks escalating over the weekend.
Storm activity is projected to increase, especially along the Red River this weekend, with the chances of severe weather shifting southward as the days progress. By Sunday and Monday, storm risks are anticipated to heighten further. Observers note that the spring storm season is expected to extend into mid-June, promising ongoing storm chances nearly every day next week. Such storms are likely to help alleviate summer heat while additionally supplying necessary moisture for lawns and gardens.
As the weather unfolds, a Severe Thunderstorm Watch extends for areas west of Dallas-Fort Worth until 11 p.m. Tonight’s weather conditions are characterized by warm and humid winds with temperatures nearing 90 degrees. Non-severe showers and storms are projected to occur in areas west and north of DFW during Tuesday morning.
As the night transitions into early morning, a possible cold front is expected to arrive between 10 p.m. and 3 a.m., bringing strong winds and substantial rainfall. Anticipated storms are forecasted to clear by sunrise on Wednesday, resulting in cooler temperatures approaching the low 80s.
As Thursday approaches, there will be a return of warmer and humid air with partly sunny skies. Temperatures on Friday and Saturday are expected to reach around 90 degrees. However, there remains a slight chance of isolated storms overnight on Friday and into early Saturday morning, indicating the persistence of unsettled weather patterns in the region.
In summary, North Texas residents should prepare for severe weather conditions, including flash flooding and thunderstorms, through the night and into the coming days. Continuous updates from the First Alert Weather team are encouraged to stay informed about evolving weather patterns.
