Scattered showers and storms are blanketing the area with pockets of heavy rain. Areas of concern for flash flooding include Weatherford, Hudson Oaks, Lipan and Annetta North with an additional 1 to 2 inches of rain possible, according to the National Weather Service.

The National Weather Service warned of flooding of small creeks and streams, urban areas, highways, streets, and underpasses as well as other
poor drainage and low lying areas.

Phones are back up. Sorry for the inconvenience! Phones are down at the Sheriff’s office due to flooding.
