We're OK for most of today, with just a few showers dotting the area late this morning through the afternoon. By late this evening a large area of showers and storms, some severe (hail and wind), will move in from the west and NW, a brief break in the storms the first half Saturday, then more storms, some severe, develop by late Saturday afternoon and evening.
Any of these storms may be coming severe (hail and wind). Another wave of showers and storms will develop during the day on Mother's Day. Some rain could be heavy at times, and yes, another wave of showers and storms possible on Monday. It's still way too early to tell if these will be severe.
Some data suggests we may have a cold front slide through the area late Monday pressing most of the rain south of us Tuesday through Thursday, but I'm keeping isolated showers and storms in the forecast, especially during the afternoon and evening hours each day.
Rainfall totals over the next 7 days, hard to gauge.. Depends on the track of the upper level disturbances that's a cruise across the area over the next seven days. If I were to make an educated guess...2"-4" of rain is not out of the question for DFW, but isolated higher totals are possible, especially west of DFW....lighter totals to the east of us.
All this being said, a Flood Watch goes into effect at 7pm this evening through Sunday at 7 PM for areas just west of DFW. This Watch MAY be extended farther east, depending on radar trends.
Temperatures: Our warmest day will be today with highs in the upper eighties, cooling into the seventies while it's raining, Low eighties if you see any sunshine through Monday. By Thursday, we'll be back in the mid eighties.
