A new computer-model run is showing just how wet the next several days could become across Hood County.

The latest 12Z GFS model supplied to Hood County Express depicts a broad corridor of heavy rainfall across North and Central Texas, including projected totals around 6 inches in and near Hood County.

⚠️ Important: That does NOT mean Hood County is officially forecast to receive exactly 6 inches.

The GFS is one computer model, and the location of the heaviest rainfall will continue to shift as new data comes in. But the projection is significant because it agrees with a much wetter overall pattern now being forecast across the region.

🌧️ NWS: WIDESPREAD HEAVY RAIN

The National Weather Service in Fort Worth currently expects widespread rainfall totals of 2 to 5 inches across North and Central Texas, with locally higher amounts possible.

For Hood County, the most important period to watch remains Wednesday night into Thursday morning.

That is when repeated thunderstorms could produce very heavy rainfall over the same locations, increasing the potential for flash flooding.

💧 WHY COULD WE GET SO MUCH RAIN?

An approaching upper-level system will have access to abundant moisture from both the Pacific and Gulf of Mexico.

If thunderstorms repeatedly track across Hood County, rainfall totals could climb quickly. Whether we ultimately receive 3 inches, 6 inches or something in between will depend heavily on exactly where those bands develop.

🚨 WHAT TO WATCH

If the higher rainfall totals materialize, low-water crossings, creeks, drainage areas and flood-prone roads will become the primary concern.

Do not take the 6-inch number as a guarantee.

Do take the developing heavy-rain threat seriously.

The next 24 to 36 hours of forecast updates should give us a much clearer picture of whether the heaviest rainfall corridor remains positioned over Hood County.

Hood County Express will continue tracking the newest model runs and National Weather Service forecasts as the system approaches.
