A Flood Watch is in effect for portions of North and Central Texas through 6 am Friday. Multiple rounds of heavy rainfall will result in an increasing threat for flash flooding across the watch area through Thursday night. Most of the area will receive 1 to 2 inches, however, isolated totals up to 4 inches will be possible.
As one wave of heavy precipitation shifts east, another round of storms will arrive later today. By this afternoon, expect the next wave of heavy rain to once again increase the potential for flooding. The main area of concern is now under a Flood Watch through midnight. In addition to the flooding threat, there is a threat for a brief spin-up across Central Texas in the afternoon.
