A First Alert Weather Day has been declared for Wednesday morning in North Texas due to the anticipated disruptive heavy rain. Residents should prepare for showers and storm activity set to arrive during the morning commute, with the heaviest downpours expected to hit the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex around 7 a.m. Although the chances of severe weather are low, there remains a possibility of isolated strong storms bringing gusty winds and small hail.
By midday Wednesday, the showers are likely to move out of the region, paving the way for clearer skies for the remainder of the week. Some areas in East Texas could see isolated rainfall totals reaching 4 to 5 inches by Wednesday afternoon, raising concerns about potential flash flooding.
Following the rain, temperatures will ease, returning to seasonal averages. A cooler and drier air mass is expected to settle into the area, bringing mid-60s temperatures on Thursday and afternoon highs in the low to mid-80s. The end of the week looks to remain dry, with low humidity creating pleasant conditions heading into the weekend.
Residents should remain cautious on wet roads during the morning drive and stay informed about any weather updates. The overall outlook for the rest of the week promises more stable and enjoyable weather, perfect for fall activities.
