Storms Linger East, Most Drying Out

Another Weather Event Gets A Record

Standing water is evidence of the widespread 2-4 inch amounts of rain that fell over North Texas and it was mainly focused over southern Denton and Collin counties through Tarrant and Dallas counties southward to Waco.  Officially, DFW recorded 4.00 inches and tallied 2.17 inches for a daily record rainfall.  Many parts of Dallas County registered over 5 inches according to the Dallas Flood Control District.

Today & Tonight

The rainfall continues for most of eastern portions of North Texas that are still under a Flash Flood Watch, but the rain has come to a close for the Metroplex for the most part.  The rest of North Texas will spend the day drying out, but we cannot rule out spot showers or storms as yet another very strong piece of upper level energy transitions from Northern Mexico up into North Texas.  The bulk of activity from this upper level system will be to the east along the stalled storm line in East Texas…where strong to severe storms will fire throughout the day.

Clouds should linger in the skies with the occasional breaks to allow sunshine through and warm temps from the low 50s into the upper 50s and low 60s.  With abundant ground moisture and light winds in the forecast overnight, fog is possible if clouds don't completely cover our skies.  The air is drier out to the west.  As this slowly filters into the Metroplex, it will go against fog development for the overnight hours.

For Wednesday and Thursday

…we will wait on the upper level low to finally push into the Central Plains.  As it does so, spotty showers and storms are possible both days mainly for western and northern areas in North Texas.

 Weekend Warm Up

Dry pattern takes over and temps climb into the upper 70s and lower 80s Friday through Monday.
