Dallas Residents, Prepare for Heavy Rain and Severe Thunderstorms – Don’t Be Caught Off Guard

Dallas residents, get ready for a stormy midweek! A powerful weather system is heading our way, bringing heavy rain, strong winds, and severe thunderstorms. The National Weather Service warns of potential flooding, hail, and damaging winds, making this a weather event you can’t ignore. Here’s everything you need to know to stay safe.

What to Expect:

• Wednesday: Cloudy with occasional showers and a thunderstorm, high of 60°F, low of 56°F.

This storm system may bring much-needed rain, but it also comes with risks. Take precautions now to protect your family, property, and plans.
