North Texas residents and World Cup visitors heading out for Sunday matches or watch parties should brace for a wet and muggy afternoon. Scattered thunderstorms are expected to push through the Dallas, Fort Worth and Arlington areas throughout the day, with conditions intensifying as the evening approaches.
The system brings the potential for three notable hazards: 1. strong wind gusts, 2. frequent lightning and 3. localized heavy rain totals. Some areas, particularly south of the Dallas-Fort Worth corridor, could see between 2 and 3 inches of rain by Sunday evening. Rain chances sit at 50% through the afternoon, with more widespread coverage expected Sunday night and into Monday.
