The National Weather Service in Fort Worth has dropped the Flash Flood Warning, meaning that rapid rises of water are possible, and replaced it with a Flood Warning, which indicates flooding is still occurring. This Flood Warning is in effect for several North Texas counties and will remain in effect until 12:30 AM. High water will be slow to recede and several roads remain closed due to flooding.

The heavy rainfall we saw earlier this afternoon has weakened into light to moderate rain. The damage is still done though with flooding still occurring across the northern half of the D/FW Metroplex. It will take several hours for flood water to recede, but we shouldn’t see heavy thunderstorm activity again this evening. Light rain will likely continue through 9 PM, but rainfall amounts will remain light and should not cause flooding to become much worse.
Local streams and rivers will remain agitated for some time and continue above flood stage into Sunday, so stay away from them! We’ll have a complete list of rainfall totals a bit later this evening.
