SIGN UP Rain coverage will become more widespread by the end of the week. Each of these days many areas will receive several dry hours.
The severe weather threat is currently low, with North Texas included in the general risk for thunderstorms. However, some storms could become strong, bringing small hail and gusty winds.
Additionally, due to the lack of rainfall in many areas, minor flooding could become a concern in regions where heavy rain persists on saturated ground.

Either way, North Texas needs this beneficial rain this week after a month marked by wildfire threats.
We are nearing the end of March with less than an inch of total rainfall, well below the monthly normal of over three inches. The good news is that we are still above our normal yearly rainfall.
