City of The Colony - Texas Government

Just now from the National Weather Service Fort Worth 8 a.m. Sunday: With another storm complex slowly moving across North Texas, we are continuing to monitor the potential for additional areas of flash flooding. While flash flooding will continue to be possible across all of North Texas today, the greatest threat this morning will be for northern portions of the DFW Metroplex and surrounding areas. Please be sure to have multiple ways of receiving NWS warnings for your area, and check road conditions/closures before any travel today.

School’s out and summer fun is here! ☀️

Keep the good times rolling by planning ahead:
💧 Stay hydrated in the Texas heat
🧴 Wear sunscreen
📍 Set meeting spots at crowded events
⚡ Keep an eye on changing weather conditions

A little preparation goes a long way toward a safe summer.

🚨 PUBLIC NOTICE 🚨

UPDATE: The non-emergency lines are back up and working.

The Colony Police Department is currently experiencing an outage affecting our 911 non-emergency phone lines. If you attempt to call the non-emergency number, you may be unable to get through. In the meantime, for non emergencies please contact: (972) 897-3789.

Emergency 911 services remain fully operational and are not affected by this outage.

We are working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible and will provide updates when service has been restored.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Storm chances will be highest over the weekend as a slow moving upper disturbance spreads through the Southern Plains. The severe weather threat remains low, though stronger storms could produce gusty winds, frequent lightning, small hail, and heavy rain. The flooding threat will increase in areas that observe training storms.
