Storm Chances May Disrupt Memorial Day Weekend Plans in North Texas
US · Published May 23, 2026
North Texas experienced a stormy start to Saturday morning, with thunderstorms moving through the region between 2 a.m.
and 5 a.m., bringing gusty winds and quarter-sized hail to areas like University Park, Grapevine, and Duncanville.
The system moved eastward, allowing for drier conditions by late morning and early afternoon.

Why It's Important?

Residents and visitors in North Texas should remain cautious as storm chances persist throughout the Memorial Day Weekend. Lightning poses a significant hazard, particularly for those engaging in outdoor activities such as swimming or boating. Flooding in low-lying areas is also a potential risk. On Sunday, areas along and east of I-35 are more likely to experience afternoon showers and storms. While the storm risk on Memorial Day is lower, it is not entirely absent, and weather conditions could still disrupt outdoor festivities. The active weather pattern is expected to continue into the following week, with more rain and storms likely.
