Parts of Dallas-Fort Worth are under a flash flood warning and flood watch as rain poured Wednesday morning.
A flood watch is in effect through Thursday evening for Tarrant, Dallas, Rockwall and Kaufman counties, according to the National Weather Service’s Fort Worth office.
A flash flood warning was activated for parts of Ellis, Johnson and Navarro counties until 10:15 a.m.
Morning showers will likely clear out by 10 a.m. Chances of precipitation will rise again throughout the afternoon, with scattered showers expected across North Texas. But the heaviest rain won’t start until after the sun sets.
That more intense downpour is forecast to continue Thursday, with over an inch of rain expected at DFW International Airport. These storms will have the possibility of severe threats, including damaging winds and hail, but are primarily expected to be sub-severe.
Flash flooding is also an area for concern, the weather service said, as the storm system is relatively slow-moving and may dump a lot of water into an already damp environment.
