Severe storms return Tuesday. Will we see more flash flooding?

FORT WORTH

Tarrant County has been dealing with devastating flash floods over the last month.

And forecasters say there’s a chance for more — along with damaging winds and a slight chance of a few “spin-up tornadoes” — on Tuesday.

A line of thunderstorms, which could become severe, is expected to rumble across Dallas-Fort Worth and the rest of North Texas on Tuesday.

The question remains: How fast will the system move through the area?

If it moves quickly enough, the chance for flash flooding may lessen. If it slows down, rainfall totals could soar.

“Right now the guidance is showing two different scenarios,” said National Weather Service meteorologist Patricia Sanchez. “It really depends on how fast the system moves.”

For now, forecasters are saying rainfall totals could range from an inch-and-a-half to 2 inches but some isolated areas could see 3-4 inches. Scattered storms on Monday could soak some areas, making flooding more likely.
