Texas Weather Forecast: Severe Storms Bring Flood Risk, Heavy Rain This Week

A National Weather Service (NWS) report warns of possible severe storms in portions of Texas this week, bringing flash flood risk and flooding. People with travel activities or plans should carefully consider the weather to avoid potential road dangers.

In early June, parts of Texas and the Western US experienced unusual heat, which caused heat advisories and risks. Due to favorable conditions for fires to spread, wildfire risks were also reported.

Weather conditions are expected to improve in parts of Texas, potentially relieving recent intense heat. However, another concern for Texas residents is the return of severe weather conditions.
