The last few months have been drier than usual, but March could see a change.
Potentially severe storms on Wednesday are forecast to kick off days of rain, with the chance for flooding increasing as the storms continue. The National Weather Service’s Fort Worth office predicted showers and storms will develop ahead of a cold front moving into the area Wednesday, with the potential for severe storms, depending on where the front stalls.
Severe weather, including strong wind gusts and hail, is most likely in the late afternoon and evening. While the exact location of the threat isn’t known yet, all of the metro area could be affected.
Conditions should be calmer on Thursday, with scattered showers throughout the day. There is a low chance of storms moving in from the west in the evening, but overall there should be a respite before stronger thunderstorm chances return Friday and Saturday.
