Dallas faces slow morning commute as flooding rain, severe thunderstorms barrel across South
Millions of people in the Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex are facing a tough morning commute as a slow-moving, cross-country storm slides across the region, triggering flooding rain and severe weather.
More than 4 million people in cities like Dallas, Arlington and Plano have been included in a Flash Flood Warning until at least 8 a.m. CT, and additional Flash Flood Warnings were issued to the south of Dallas.
A video shared from the Dallas-Fort Worth area shows vehicle driving over a flooded roadway as torrential rain and thunderstorms moved over the region on Wednesday, Jan. 29, 2025.
As the storm system continues to slide off to the east, more than 17 million people from eastern Texas to the lower Mississippi Valley will be at risk of severe thunderstorms on Thursday.
The main threats will be the risk of hail, damaging wind gusts and even some tornadoes.

Wildfires erupt in Helene-ravaged area of North Carolina
At least three wildfires ignited on Wednesday near North Carolina towns that were devastated by Hurricane Helene. The largest of the fires was estimated to have consumed 200 acres near the town of Marion and forced evacuations.
The state’s governor said a shelter had been opened at a local church, but it remained unclear how many people were in the evacuation notice since many homes were destroyed in the region more than four months ago.
