Heavy rain you see on the radar below will stay to our south tonight.  But get ready for a soaking tomorrow.  Heaviest rain will in DFW area will fall Saturday afternoon thru Sunday morning. From about Saturday afternoon thru Sunday morning it will be a washout.  Sunday afternoon will dry out and we will salvage a few hours of dry weather before sundown Sunday evening.

How much rain will we see?  1" to 3" for just about everybody with some areas seeing 4" or even more.  Here is our CBS 11 High Resolution Forecast Model's rainfall estimate for this weekend thru Sunday morning.

Be sure to get the latest on CBS 11 NEWS AT 4, 5, 6 and 10pm.  Flooding doesn't look to be a huge issue as this rain will fall over a 24 to 36 hour period.  But some streams and creeks could over flow.
