UPDATE: Just reported, the Dallas-Fort Worth area experienced a staggering 3.95 inches of rainfall within 24 hours yesterday, marking a new record for November in North Texas. This deluge has shattered the previous record of 3.45 inches set in 2015, prompting concerns about potential flooding as the region braces for more rain this weekend.
As the cleanup begins, residents are seeing a brief respite with dry, pleasant weather expected today. However, forecasters warn that heavy rains and flood watches will return as early as Sunday night. The National Weather Service reports that rain totals could reach between 1 to 3 inches during this next storm, raising alarms for vulnerable areas.
Residents in the Metroplex are advised to remain cautious, especially during the Friday morning commute, as patchy, dense fog may affect visibility. While Dallas enjoys temperatures in the mid-70s, Central Texas faces continued rainfall, making travel conditions treacherous.
Looking ahead, Saturday morning will bring comfortable conditions, with temperatures in the upper 60s and increasing clouds throughout the afternoon. Showers are forecasted to begin filtering in by Sunday, with the heaviest rains expected overnight into Monday morning.
The threat of flooding is particularly concerning for travelers returning home after the weekend. With Thanksgiving just around the corner, those planning to travel Monday morning should prepare for challenging conditions. The forecast for next week indicates a shift to drier, cooler air, leading to chilly weather by Thanksgiving Day.
Officials urge residents to stay informed about evolving weather conditions and to take necessary precautions. As the situation develops, the community is advised to monitor local news and weather updates closely.
