Flooding the main threat as showers, isolated storms move across North Texas in coming days
Good Tuesday morning!
The First Alert Weather Team has been tracking a complex of storms to the west on Tuesday morning as they move into the area.
The northern edge of the complex is breaking up as it heads east into Palo Pinto and Parker counties.
Some of this activity may hold together as it nears Tarrant County.
The southern edge of the line is more robust and is capable of small hail, gusty winds and heavy rainfall.
The highest rain chances today are southwest of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex and south of I-20.
A few afternoon storms in DFW can't be ruled out as we are on the northern fringe of the activity.
Temperatures on Tuesday will be cooler south of I-20 due to the rain and clouds, and warmer along the Red River where it remains drier.
First Alert Weather days have been issued for Wednesday and Thursday as waves of heavy rain will move through the area.
A slow-moving area of low pressure will track across North Texas tomorrow through Friday.
Flooding is the main concern, but an isolated severe storm with hail and damaging winds can't be ruled out.
Please remember "Turn Around, Don't Drown." Do not try and drive through water-covered roadways, as it is very hard to estimate how deep the water is, and you could put yourself in a life-threatening situation.
The low-pressure system shifts east of the area this weekend, allowing for more sunshine, drier conditions and warmer temperatures.

The flash flooding, brought on by severe storms on May 13, prompted Gov. Wes Moore to declare a State of Emergency, as buildings were damaged and nearly 200 people were rescued from schools. Following the incident, the governor also called on the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to conduct a damage assessment. Funding for western Maryland flooding The governor's office said data collected through damage assessments indicated that the recovery needs were beyond the capability of the county. Allegany County officials then requested help from the state's Disaster Recovery Fund. The Maryland Department of Emergency Management worked closely with county officials to provide the funding. The Disaster Recovery Fund, created under a Maryland law, is a form of state-assisted financing that is given to jurisdictions to provide essential help to households, local governments or businesses impacted by disasters, the governor's office said. The funds can be used to supplement needs like housing, repairs or property replacement. "Being the first of its kind in Maryland, the State Disaster Recovery Fund is providing critical support to the residents of Allegany County," said Maryland Department of Emergency Management Secretary Russell Strickland. "Financial assistance availability at crucial times like this is what strengthens our state's resilience and allows our communities to recover." Who is eligible for disaster recovery funding? Allegany and Garrett County residents and business owners can apply for disaster relief loans through the U.S. Small Business Administration Physical Loan program, the governor's office said. An outreach center at 103 1st Street in Westernport is assisting both counties. "In Maryland, we live mission-first, people always. These funds will help Marylanders get back on their feet in the wake of historic flooding," Gov. Moore said. "Our administration has taken a comprehensive approach to our recovery efforts – and we will continue to support our people, uplift our communities, and help Western Maryland bounce back."
