UPDATE: The Dallas-Fort Worth area just experienced a historic weather event, shattering the record for rainfall in a 24-hour period for November. Official measurements show a staggering 3.95 inches fell on November 2, 2023, surpassing the previous record of 3.45 inches set in 2015.
As residents clean up from the deluge, the region will enjoy a brief respite with pleasant weather before heavy rain returns this weekend. However, the National Weather Service warns that flood watches are likely to be issued by Sunday night.
Friday morning commuters should be aware of patchy, dense fog as the Metroplex begins to dry out. While some areas, like Fort Worth, recorded around 2 inches of rain, Euless experienced even more, with 3.74 inches recorded.
Temperatures today are expected to rise to the mid-70s, reaching up to 77 degrees in DFW, allowing for a comfortable day outdoors. However, the calm will be short-lived as clouds will build throughout Saturday, with temperatures peaking in the upper 60s.
The real concern begins Sunday morning when showers are forecasted to roll in, intensifying overnight. Rain totals are projected to reach between 1 to 3 inches, posing a renewed flood threat into Monday morning. Authorities urge residents to stay vigilant and monitor conditions closely, especially those traveling during this period.
Looking ahead, drier conditions are expected to settle in next week, leading to cooler weather just in time for Thanksgiving Day. Travelers should prepare for potentially hazardous driving conditions on Monday morning.
Stay tuned for further updates as this situation develops, and ensure you have plans in place to stay safe as the weather changes.
