Moisture and a mix of precipitation should start to move into the metroplex from the southwest starting in the morning to the mid-morning hours.

After several days of freezing temperatures, snow, sleet and rain fell in North Texas Thursday, bringing travel disruptions in the air and on the ground, school closures and upending a region that doesn’t often see frozen precipitation.

Today is a FOX 26 Storm Alert Day in southeast Texas. Heavy rain will begin to move in midday with the heaviest rain expected later this afternoon into the evening. Models are showing 2 to 4 inches of rain possible in total and the highest amounts will likely be close to the coast.
