Severe rain has ended across parts of Collin and Denton counties in North Texas, but flooding continues to affect low-lying areas as runoff from earlier storms continues to overwhelm drainage systems, according to the National Weather Service in Fort Worth. Officials said the heaviest rainfall had moved out of the region, although residual flooding remained active in several neighbourhoods.
Flash flood warnings were issued on Tuesday across Collin, Denton, Dallas and Tarrant counties after repeated thunderstorms moved across North Texas. The National Weather Service reported that slow-moving storm cells produced intense bursts of rainfall, overwhelming urban drainage systems and prompting emergency alerts across the Dallas–Fort Worth metro area.
