Storms are ongoing across Texas this evening, with flash flooding already impacting parts of the DFW Metroplex and more storms expected tonight across the Hill Country, Edwards Plateau, Central Texas, South Texas, Brazos Valley, and Southeast Texas.
DFW still has flash flood warnings in place, even though the heaviest rain has shifted southeast. Roads, creeks, and streams may stay high into tonight. Farther west, a Severe Thunderstorm Watch continues until 11 PM for parts of the Hill Country, Concho Valley, and northern Edwards Plateau.
Tonight, a southeast-moving cluster of storms is expected to continue developing and moving across Central Texas, the Hill Country, Edwards Plateau, South Texas, Brazos Valley, and Southeast Texas. Stronger storms may produce damaging straight-line winds over 60 mph, with isolated gusts of 70 to 80 mph possible. Hail up to golf ball size or possibly tennis ball size remains possible with the strongest storms over the next few hours before storms become more clustered.
Heavy rain, frequent lightning, and localized flooding are also concerns. Some areas may pick up 1 to 2 inches of rain, with isolated 3 to 4 inch totals possible tonight into Wednesday morning. The Hill Country, urban corridors, construction zones, and low-water crossings will need to be watched closely.
This is not expected to be a widespread high-impact flooding event tonight, but localized flooding will occur where heavier storms repeat or sit over the same areas.
