The primary concern is flooding, particularly in flood-prone areas of Dallas. The NWS warns that some severe weather may accompany the initial storms, but flooding remains the most significant risk. Governor Greg Abbott has mobilized over 1,900 first responders and 1,500 pieces of equipment, including rescue boats and helicopters, to assist in potential emergencies. Residents are advised to avoid flooded roads and low-water crossings, as these areas can be hazardous and may result in fines or legal consequences if barriers are ignored.
