FOX 4 Weather Meteorologist Kylie Capps gives an update on storms that are moving through North Texas.
DALLAS - Grab that umbrella! A very stormy and wet start to the day will continue into Thursday evening. But don't put those raincoats away yet. The rain is expected to return this weekend.
Thursday's Forecast: Flood Risks
Rain swept through the Metroplex early Thursday morning, but should clear up to give commuters a somewhat easier afternoon. Drivers should still be aware of puddling and high water in the roadways.
Several inches of rain have already fallen across region. This weather is not severe, so the threats for hail and tornadoes are very low. The greatest threat remains flooding.
A Flash Flood Warning for Dallas, Tarrant, Denton, and Collin counties expired at 1:30 p.m. A Flood Watch remains in effect through Friday morning.
Widespread rain will continue later Thursday and through the evening. Multiple rounds of heavy rainfall will result in an increasing threat for flash flooding across the watch area through Thursday night, according to the National Weather Service. Most of the area will receive 1 to 2 inches, though isolated totals up to 4 inches will be possible.
