Arlington, between Dallas and Fort Worth in North Texas, shares the same severe-weather climate as the rest of the metroplex, receiving around 990 mm (about 39 inches) of rain a year with spring bringing the region’s most active thunderstorm and tornado season. Fast-developing supercell storms can produce large hail, damaging wind, and locally intense rainfall capable of flash flooding specific streets within an hour, a routine seasonal hazard given the flat North Texas terrain. Because the city sits between two major weather-monitoring hubs, residents have ready access to detailed real-time radar coverage during the active spring storm season. NWS Doppler radar KFWS (Dallas/Fort Worth) covers the region.
