Although the severity of the storms impact in North Texas is not certain, the weather service forecast shows threats that include large hail, damaging winds and a “low end” possibility of tornadoes.
“This could very well play out... with organizing clusters of thunderstorms pushing in across portions of Central Texas through this evening into the early morning hours on Friday,” Reeves wrote. “That being said, there is a bit of uncertainty regarding the overall coverage and extent of these thunderstorms.”
Although the weather service expects the storms Thursday to be worrisome, of greater concern will be flooding in areas across Central Texas that have been waterlogged after nearly 7 to 8 inches of rainfall in the past two days.
“Even once the rain ends through the morning, flooding concerns will remain in place, with the Flood Watch currently set through 1 PM,” Reeves said.
What’s the weather forecast for Friday going into the weekend?
Much like today, storm activity Friday will begin moving east by early afternoon. But another set of storms will form to the east of Dallas-Fort Worth in Big Country and possibly move into the area by nightfall.
“Daily storm chances are in the forecast through the weekend, however the coverage and severe risk is uncertain at this time,” according to the NWS. “Everyone needs to keep up with the forecast for the next few days as daily changes are likely.”
