Dallas, Texas – May 30, 3 p.m. – NEWS.ORG 4 meteorologist Dan Henry brings the latest on the weather moving through North Texas, warning of more storms expected tonight.
A Day of Storms
Thursday marks another day of tumultuous weather for North Texas residents. Beginning in the morning, a system developed northwestward, bringing heavy rain to the region by afternoon. Flash flood warnings and severe thunderstorm alerts were issued, although they have now expired. The storm exhibited the potential for small hail and winds up to 60 miles per hour.
Flash Flooding Concerns
One of the primary concerns accompanying these storms has been flash flooding. Numerous roadways across the region have experienced high water levels, causing hazardous conditions for drivers. Among the affected areas is White Rock Creek, where flooding has been reported.
Evening Respite, Followed by More Disturbances
Despite expectations of a brief respite from storms in the early evening, another disturbance looms on the horizon. Anticipated to be more potent, this subsequent storm system is forecasted to arrive later tonight, potentially bringing further challenges for residents.
Potential Impact
The storms earlier in the day may serve to mitigate the severity of the forthcoming weather, as they are expected to diminish the energy available for subsequent storms. While the primary risk associated with the initial round of storms is high winds, the likelihood of events as intense as those witnessed earlier in the week is minimal. However, the potential for quarter to golf ball-sized hail and continued flooding remains due to the saturated ground.
Severe Weather Outlook
According to the Storm Prediction Center, most of North Texas is under a slight risk of severe weather, rated as a 2 out of 5 on the severity scale. While the risk is somewhat lower in the immediate DFW area, there remains a higher risk further west.
Weekend Forecast and Beyond
As the week progresses, rain chances are expected to persist. Friday may see lingering showers and storms until midday, with the possibility of another complex system moving through the area Saturday night into Sunday morning.
For the latest updates and live radar, residents are encouraged to stay tuned to local news outlets and weather broadcasts.
