Fort Worth Weather Alert: Severe Storms & Flash Flood Risk — Updated Forecast and Safety Tips

Fort Worth, Texas — A soggy start to the week greeted residents Monday morning as rounds of thunderstorms rolled across the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, holding temperatures near 74°F and pushing humidity past 80 percent. Gusty southeast winds and repeated downpours are expected to keep travel slow through the morning drive, and localized street flooding is possible in low-lying spots. Stormy Monday: What to Expect • Rain chance peaks above 90 percent through midday, with embedded lightning and pockets of heavy rain capable of producing 1–2 inches in a short period. • Afternoon highs struggle to reach the upper 70s, well below late-May averages. • Winds 10–20 mph may snap small tree limbs; secure loose outdoor items before storms arrive. 7-Day Fort Worth Weather Forecast Tuesday – Lingering clouds give way to a mix of sun and clouds. High 79°F, low 67°F; only a 20 percent chance of an isolated shower. Wednesday – Partly cloudy and seasonably warm. High near 80°F; best day this week for outdoor projects. Thursday – Another round of heavy thunderstorms possible as Gulf moisture surges back in. Expect widespread rain, thunder, and the potential for small hail and gusty winds. Friday – Scattered showers taper; highs push back to the upper 70s. Weekend – Early summer warmth builds. Saturday tops out around 82°F under broken clouds, and Sunday climbs to 84–85°F with more sunshine and only slim rain chances. Weather Headlines for North Texas • Flash-flooding risk: Soils remain saturated after multiple spring storm systems; avoid driving across water-covered roads. • Lake levels rising: Area reservoirs are seeing steady inflows, improving drought conditions but creating swift-water currents near spillways. • Allergy watch: Mold spores spike after each round of rainfall; sensitive groups should limit time outside when humidity is highest. Travel & Event Planner • Morning commuters should allow at least 10 extra minutes Monday and keep headlights on during downpours. • Rangers baseball on Tuesday looks dry; Thursday’s home games face a higher chance of weather delays. • Weekend festivals at Sundance Square will feel muggy but mostly dry; carry water and sunscreen as heat index values edge toward 90°F by Sunday afternoon. Safety Reminders When thunder roars, go indoors. The majority of lightning injuries in Texas occur during late spring storms similar to Monday’s setup. Keep mobile alerts enabled, and review your family’s severe-weather plan ahead of Thursday’s renewed storm threat. Bottom Line Fort Worth weather this week is a roller-coaster of soaking rain followed by a gradual warm-up. Stay weather-aware on stormy days, but plan on brighter skies and true patio-season warmth by the weekend—as May transitions into a sizzling North Texas June.
