Today, Frisco woke up to a soggy morning as a Flash Flood Warning from the National Weather Service took aim at parts of Collin and Denton counties, including the city itself. After overnight and early-morning downpours, low spots and underpasses are at risk of becoming impassable, with standing water already reported in some neighborhoods. Drivers are being warned to slow it down, expect delays, and be ready for detours until the water recedes.

What Officials Are Saying

The City of Frisco sounded the alarm on X, tagging the Frisco Fire Department and Frisco Police Department while urging motorists to take it easy out there. City of Frisco,Texas officials say crews are actively monitoring conditions and will push out updates on road closures and safety information through municipal channels as needed.

Where the Alert Applies and Safety Tips

The warning covers portions of Collin and Denton counties, including Frisco, and is scheduled to expire at 10:45 a.m. CDT, according to the National Weather Service Fort Worth watch page. The agency is reminding drivers that even shallow, fast-moving water can sweep a vehicle away and is again emphasizing its “Turn Around, Don’t Drown” safety advice.

The National Weather Service urges motorists to find an alternate route instead of trying to gun it through a flooded roadway, no matter how tempting or shallow it might look from the driver’s seat.

How Frisco Is Responding

Frisco public-safety teams and public-works crews are on standby to respond to high-water trouble spots and may block or detour traffic where conditions become too risky. For official closure information, maps, and up-to-the-minute updates, residents are encouraged to check the city’s alert resources and follow municipal channels for real-time notices. The City of Frisco posts regular updates during weather events.

If you absolutely must be on the road, build in extra travel time, steer clear of low-lying underpasses, and ease up on the gas when driving through any standing water. If you come across a flooded roadway, turn around and report the hazard to local authorities instead of taking a chance and driving through.
