Wettest May Ever Ends on Dry Note

For the first time in four days: NO Flood Watch in effect for north Texas:

DFW Airport had less than an inch of rain this morning. None the less, it added to the records. What a May to remember in a soggy mind. The wettest May ever and less than an inch away from the wettest month ever recorded:

In fact the typical amount of rainfall we should have by 150 days into a year was surpassed in 24 days (out of 30) of rain in May:

All the lakes listed below are still rising as of this evening:

What is ahead is some dry weather. A cold front pushed through this afternoon. High pressure will build in behind it:
