Threat of bad weather forces several high school football teams to move games

Big changes are on the horizon later this week and into the weekend as a storm system moves our way.

Widespread rain and thunderstorms arrive Friday into Saturday, with the highest coverage expected Friday evening and overnight. Some of the rain will be heavy at times. As the storm system moves through, there is potential to receive 1-3″ of rain.

The greatest flood threat will be for locations near and east of I-35.

While the overall severe weather threat is low, some of the storms could contain damaging winds and hail. On Friday, parts of North Texas are included in a level 1 severe weather risk.

The rain has prompted several area high school football teams to reconsider their Friday night plans and move their football games.
