Weather Connection
Connecting you with your forecast and all the things that make North Texas weather unique.
The NWS describes areal flooding as "flooding that develops more gradually, usually from prolonged and persistent moderate to heavy rainfall. This results in a gradual ponding or buildup of water in low-lying, flood-prone areas, as well as small creeks and streams. The flooding normally occurs more than six hours after the rainfall begins, and may cover a large area. However, even though this type of flooding develops more slowly than flash flooding, it can still be a threat to life and property."
People are urged to avoid flood-prone areas and flooded roadways.
Remember, never drive through high water. Turn Around, Don't Drown.
North Texans should expect flooding of small creeks and streams, urban areas, highways, streets and underpasses as well as other poor drainage and low-lying areas. Since the ground is already so saturated it will not take much for runoff to occur.
