Heavy Rain Crosses Red River Into Texas Soaking Denison Sherman and Bells Monday Morning After Two Inches Already Fell Earlier Today
DENISON, TEXAS — Heavy rain has crossed the Red River and is moving southeast into north Texas this morning, delivering another round of significant downpours to an area that already picked up two inches of rain earlier today. Radar at 9:08 a.m. shows a broad and intense band of heavy rainfall stretching from Durant and Colbert on the Oklahoma side southward through Denison, Sherman, Bells, and toward Ravenna and Bonham in Texas.
Frequent lightning is accompanying the system as it pushes southeast through the region. Communities along and south of the Red River are experiencing rapidly accumulating rainfall totals this morning.
Denison Hit Twice as Heavy Rain Band Pushes Through
Denison is taking a second direct hit from heavy rainfall after already recording two inches earlier this morning, raising concerns about localized flooding and ponding on area roadways. The intense radar returns showing red and orange cores are concentrated directly over the Denison and Colbert corridor along the Red River.
Sherman Bells Ravenna and Bonham in the Path
The heavy rain band is tracking southeast and will impact Sherman, Bells, Ravenna, Bonham, and Whitewright through the late morning hours. These communities should expect locally heavy downpours with frequent lightning as the system continues to organize and push deeper into north Texas.
Red River Crossing Adds to Already Saturated Region
The movement of this rainfall band across the Red River from Oklahoma into Texas brings additional moisture into a region that has already seen significant rain accumulation this morning. Flooding on low-lying roads and in flood-prone areas remains a concern as totals continue to climb with this second wave.
Frequent Lightning Accompanies Heavy Rain Band
Radar shows numerous lightning strikes embedded throughout the rainfall band from Durant and Caddo in Oklahoma southward through Denison and into the Texas communities. Residents in the affected areas are urged to stay indoors and away from flood-prone locations until the system moves through.
