Dallas weather: Severe storms and flooding risks continue; wind advisory issued

DALLAS - Showers will continue across North Texas on Wednesday, bringing the potential for severe storms and flooding to specific areas. While Tuesday night’s storms produced some damage and power outages, sunny skies and unseasonably warm temperatures are in store for the region this weekend.

Wednesday Forecast

Scattered storms will persist today as a disturbance moves through North Texas. Strong to severe storms and flooding remain possible, especially east and southeast of DFW. These storms could produce damaging winds and large hail, with heavy rain further increasing the threat of flooding.

Conditions will improve as the system exits Wednesday afternoon, with showers moving primarily southwest of the Metroplex. Expect a seasonal high in the mid-60s. 

A wind advisory is currently in effect for most of North Texas, with sustained winds between 20 and 30 mph. The National Weather Service advises residents to secure lightweight outdoor objects and suggests extra precaution for those driving high-profile vehicles. 

Temperatures will drop into the 30s and 40s tonight with breezy north winds.
