News Summary

A Severe Thunderstorm Watch has been issued for most of North Texas, including Dallas and Tarrant Counties, until morning on Memorial Day. Residents should prepare for rain and possible storms beginning overnight, with forecasts predicting up to three inches of rain and increased flooding risks. Meteorologists also warn of continued storms throughout the day, particularly if an approaching weather front stalls. Following the holiday weekend, cooler temperatures and more storms are expected later in the week.

Dallas, Texas – A Severe Thunderstorm Watch has been issued for nearly all of North Texas, including Dallas and Tarrant Counties, until 5 a.m. on Memorial Day. Residents should prepare for a chance of rain and storms moving through the region, beginning around 3 a.m., and continuing through the early morning hours.

The severe weather threat is anticipated to persist during the first part of Memorial Day, with the possibility of increased flooding as the day progresses. Meteorologists are forecasting rain accumulations of up to three inches in a short period, raising concerns about localized flooding.

As thunderstorms develop overnight, the highest likelihood for rainfall is expected to be in the morning hours. Storms may continue to impact the area depending on the behavior of an approaching weather front. If the front stalls near the I-20 corridor, additional thunderstorms could occur, further complicating the weather situation.

Following the holiday weekend, cooler than normal temperatures are forecasted for the days ahead, marking a noticeable change from the recent 90-degree weather experienced in the area. The forecast indicates that more thunderstorms are predicted to return by Thursday, followed by a potential improvement in weather conditions later in the week.

As North Texas approaches this Memorial Day, residents are encouraged to stay informed about the evolving weather situation and take necessary precautions in light of the severe weather warnings. The FOX 4 weather team remains vigilant in monitoring conditions to provide accurate updates on the storm’s progression and any further developments related to flooding risks.

In summary, the Severe Thunderstorm Watch remains in effect until 5 a.m., with potential storms developing overnight and continuing into the early hours of Memorial Day. Increased rain and flood threats are prominent, and residents should remain alert as conditions change. Though a cooling trend is expected afterward, the weather outlook may improve toward the end of the week.
