Good Afternoon Fort Worth,
This afternoon into tomorrow, the Fort Worth area is under a “Marginal” Risk (1/5) for strong to severe thunderstorms and is also under a Flood Watch from 6 PM Sunday to 3 PM Monday.
Starting at 6 PM, spotty showers and thunderstorms will begin to enter the region, with the heaviest rain lagging behind it ahead of a frontal boundary. Similar to our last event, this system will bring two heavy waves of showers and thunderstorms. The first wave will arrive in Fort Worth around 1-2 AM on Monday, then around 5 AM the second and heaviest wave of storms will push through Fort Worth. This is when we will see our heaviest rainfall and strongest chance for severe weather, however the severe threat for North Texas is rather limited. After the second wave pushes through, showers and thunderstorms will continue until about 10 AM on Monday.
The main hazards with this system will be flash flooding, with a very low chance of hail and damaging winds, however most severe weather will occur south of the metro. Precipitation totals will most likely be between 1-3”, with the NWS calling for a 10% chance of precipitation up to 4”.
Stay tuned to NWS updates for the latest information on this developing system, and as always have multiple ways to receive warnings and stay weather aware!
