UPDATE: The Dallas-Fort Worth area is facing a significant weather shift after a record-breaking rainfall of 3.95 inches was recorded on Thursday, marking the highest total in a 24-hour period for November in North Texas. This astonishing figure surpassed the previous record of 3.45 inches set in 2015.
Residents are now bracing for the potential of severe weather once again as heavy rain and flood watches are on the horizon later this weekend. According to the National Weather Service, some areas like Fort Worth experienced nearly 2 inches of rain, while Euless recorded 3.74 inches.
Friday brings a brief reprieve, with the Metroplex expected to enjoy dry conditions. However, early commuters should be cautious of patchy, dense fog in the area. Temperatures are forecasted to rise to a pleasant 77 degrees, offering a warm break before the wet weather returns.
As we look toward the weekend, Saturday morning will begin cool and comfortable, with clouds building throughout the day. High temperatures will reach the upper 60s accompanied by a gentle north breeze. By Sunday, showers are predicted to make a comeback, with the heaviest rain expected overnight into Monday. Rain totals could range from 1 to 3 inches, prompting concerns for flooding once again.
Travelers planning to hit the roads on Monday morning should remain vigilant, as the potential flood threat could impact conditions. Looking ahead to Thanksgiving Week, cooler, drier air will settle in, leading to a chilly Thanksgiving Day, which may affect travel plans for many.
Stay tuned for further updates as this weather situation develops. Residents are urged to stay informed and prepare for the potential impacts of the incoming weather.
