We're not done with the rain yet! About an inch of rain fell overnight across north Texas. It did prompt a couple of flood warnings west of Fort Worth. Rain will continue to head off to the east through mid-morning. Some peaks of sunshine are possible today with highs near 80°.
A weak cold front to our north will go stationary somewhere across north Texas this evening through the weekend, coupled with upper-level disturbances will produce more rain across the area. The next batch will form late this evening to our northwest and along the dryline to the west. Most areas will see another batch of rain late tonight while you're sleeping into Friday morning. The severity looks low, but rain totals look high in areas, especially just west of northwest of DFW. Morning lows will drop into the mid-60s. Rain-cooled air.
Most of Friday is looking okay, however, the dryline will spark more storms tomorrow late afternoon and evening well to the west of us. I think these will have a hard time making it into the area on Saturday morning. We'll have to wait for the next disturbance late Saturday to produce more storms to our west. This combined with a front meandering in the area will provide a railroad track for more storms late Friday night into early Saturday. Wherever the front lays will provide the railroad track for the next batch of heavier rain. Afternoon highs on Saturday will be near 80 with a break in the rain during the day.
We'll do it all over again late Saturday into the first part of Sunday as another disturbance rolls in from the west. We'll have to keep an eye on the frontal position for the railroad track of the heaviest rain. Stay tuned. Highs on Sunday will reach near 80° again.
As of now, it looks like we'll see a break in the rain Monday through Wednesday with only a few isolated showers of storms possible during peak heating Monday and Tuesday. Temperatures will warm in the mid-80s on Monday, pushing 90° on Tuesday and Wednesday. Factor in the oppressive humidity and heat index values will be in the mid to upper 90s! Ouch! Yuck!! Do not curl your hair ladies!
Please keep in mind that flooding is the number one killer with severe weather. Turn around don't drown y'all!
