Ahead of the risk of severe weather in the Metroplex over the next few days, first responders are urging the community to be ready for potentially dangerous driving conditions.

The potential for severe storms is in the forecast in North Texas and there are already flight delays and cancellations at North Texas airports.

As Wednesday progresses into the evening, the storm risk continues with another round of thunderstorms expected overnight. On Thursday morning, the risks remain similar, though reports indicate a low probability of tornadoes. The main concerns during this period will continue to be heavy hail and strong winds.

Rain chances continue into Friday and Saturday morning. While not every day will be a washout, the likelihood of heavier rain will go up by the end of the week. Rain totals could range from 2 to 5 inches in some locations once this is all said and done.

Rain with a high of 56 °F (13.3 °C) and a 51% chance of precipitation. Winds from NNW to NW at 7 to 11 mph (11.3 to 17.7 kph). Night - Mostly cloudy with a 47% chance of precipitation.

Waves of scattered storms will sweep across North Texas from Wednesday through Friday, bringing the potential for large hail and damaging winds.
