Wet Weather Continues
How wet has it been? Just look at how much rain DFW has gotten over the last seven days in comparison to what we had YEAR-TO-DATE in 2014:
We are in the midst of the 3rd wettest May on record and the 4th wettest start to a year. With more rain coming in tonight these numbers (and ratings) will be updated tomorrow morning:
Yes, just last year the year-to-date total rainfall was the sixth lowest recorded in the last 110-years of record-keeping in the Metroplex.
Currently north Texas is under both a Thunderstorm Watch and Flash Flood Watch. The Flood Watch goes on until Saturday noon:
The line of impressive storms to the west should be here by late evening. The largest threat from these storms will be damaging winds and of course flooding rains:
We are thinking that the current short-run models are a little slow with the arrival into the Metroplex of the line. Pop-up storms ahead of the line continue to dot the landscape, this will continue until the line arrives.
We'll have this round tonight and overnight; some of this will linger into the morning commute tomorrow. Then the rain chances let up some going into Friday afternoon:
We have at least two round of heavy rain still go through as we head into the weekend. The next one will likely arrive Friday night into Saturday morning:
Then we get some good news as we start June. A little bit of some drier weather. We won't completely remove the rain chances but keep them at a mere 10%, on Thursday 20%:
