A storm brought damaging winds and heavy rain to North Texas Wednesday night. Damaging winds were the main threat, but hail was also a factor.
The heaviest rain is expected to fall Wednesday night into Thursday morning. A flood watch is in effect for the area northeast of Dallas/Ft. value.
Precipitation totals will average 2 to 4 inches across North Texas. In the east, the total is higher, and in the west, the total is lower.
Despite the current drought, heavy rainfall over a short period of time can impair the soil's ability to absorb water. The result is runoff that can cause flash flooding. The timing of this event obscures the effects of flooding. Most heavy rain falls after sunset, while it is still dark outside. It is difficult to confirm current road conditions. If you live in a flood-prone area, know about alternative routes (elevated roads). Flooding issues could also affect the Thursday morning commute.

Once the rain clears up on Thursday, we'll have great weather for the rest of the week. We'll have near-perfect fall weather this weekend. Highs on Saturday and Sunday will be in the mid 70s, with overnight lows in the 50s. Winds will be light and skies will be mostly clear.
