Weather Alert Day Ends

UPDATE: Weather Alert Day Has Ended

The DFW area was under a TORNADO WATCH until 4:00am Sunday morning. Storms that are west of Wichita Falls could make their way into the watch counties by Sunday morning.

All of north Texas is under a FLASH FLOOD WATCH until Sunday Evening:

It won't be a good night to travel across the Lone Star State, most of it is under Flood and Tornado Watches:

Flooding is the major threat for the metro area overnight and into tomorrow morning. Several waves of heavy rain could move over the Metroplex overnight with the heaviest arriving by daybreak tomorrow:

 

Rainfall totals could surpass 3" in spots, falling in areas where the ground is full of water, the lakes at full pool and above and rivers at crest:

Please don't drive later tonight or early tomorrow in the affected areas. Conditions could be extremely hazardous. The rain should taper off by later morning:

It's not done with us. Memorial Day looks like a severe weather threat by afternoon:

 

Of course, any more heavy rain on Monday will likely lead to more street and urban flooding.

The rain chances taper off to more afternoon storm stuff by Tuesday thru Friday. Then another big round of strong storms and flooding rain looks to arrive going into the weekend. We've now had more rain so far this year then ALL of last year. With eight more days of May ahead it looks likely that we'll log the wettest May since the super El Nino of '82.
