Narrative:

Turbulence with injury. We were on the descent into dfw on a WX avoidance heading 20 degrees or more from direct to dfw. Below FL180, we saw some scattered layers but nothing like the huge clouds we could see to the north that matched what the radar was painting. The captain called the #1 flight attendant warning her of possible turbulence then turned on the fasten seatbelt sign. The #1 flight attendant made a PA advising people that the captain had turned on the fasten seatbelt sign and they should be in their seats with belts on. We hit about 30 seconds of moderate turbulence around 15000 ft. After exiting the turbulence, the flight deck was notified that the 2 flight attendants in the back were injured. We landed without further incidence.
