Storm conditions are expected to continue in Texas, where the state has already seen impressive rainfall this week.
A flash flood watch is in effect for 12 million people in parts of north-central Texas, including Dallas and stretching all the way to the Mexican border at Del Rio. The watch is expected to remain in effect through Friday morning.
The heaviest rain is forecast to hit west of San Antonio through noon, with expected rainfall rates of 1 to 2 inches per hour and the possibility of up to 4 inches in a 3-hour period.
That same area faces a marginal risk of severe storms with the possibility of damaging winds, hail and an isolated tornado.
By Thursday night, areas in south-central Texas are expected to see 1 to 3 inches of rainfall with isolated totals possibly reaching 6 to 8 inches. Parts of north-central Texas could face 1 to 2 inches of rain locally, with possible totals of up to 4 inches.
So far, areas north of Dallas, including Plano, have received over 3 inches of rain.
