Scattered storms are expected across much of North and Central Texas on Saturday. This activity means there is a threat for isolated flash flooding near and after sunset.

The National Weather Service Fort Worth/Dallas issued a bulletin about the forecast on Friday afternoon. According to the bulletin, scattered showers and storms will continue well into Saturday evening.

There will be a low chance for a few strong to severe storms capable of producing quarter-sized hail and gusty downburst winds along as west of Highway 281 on Saturday evening.

Slow-moving and training thunderstorms could lead to an increased flash flood threat generally along and north of I-20 near and after sunset. It shouldn’t rain all day on Saturday, but residents should stay weather aware.

Remember to never drive into water of unknown depth. The slogan is “Turn around, don’t drown” for a reason.

On Sunday, scattered storms will continue into the afternoon, primarily along and east of I-35. The main hazards will be locally heavy rainfall, lightning, and gusty winds.

After that, mostly sunny and dry conditions with highs in the 90s will return early next week. Heat index values could approach 100 degrees at times, so make sure to stay hydrated and cool.

There are little to no rain chances currently forecast next week.
