Record Rainfall Hits Dallas, Flood Threat Looms This Weekend

URGENT UPDATE: The Dallas-Fort Worth area has just recorded a staggering 3.95 inches of rain in a single day, setting a new November rainfall record for North Texas. This unprecedented downpour exceeds the previous record of 3.45 inches set in 2015, as the region braces for potential flooding later this weekend.

Following Thursday’s intense rainfall, residents can expect a brief respite with dry and pleasant weather today. However, forecasters warn that heavy rain and flood watches are anticipated to return by Sunday evening.

According to the National Weather Service, some areas, such as Fort Worth, recorded nearly 2 inches of rain, while Euless saw close to 3.74 inches. As the region dries out today, the main concern for commuters is patchy, dense fog, which could impact visibility.

Temperatures are expected to rise into the mid-70s today, reaching near 77 degrees in Dallas-Fort Worth, providing a brief window for outdoor activities before the weather takes a turn.

Looking ahead, Saturday morning will start cool and comfortable, but clouds will blanket the area by afternoon. Highs will only reach the upper 60s, with a north breeze ushering in moisture that brings showers beginning Sunday.

The latest forecasts predict rain totals could reach between 1 to 3 inches by Monday morning, escalating the flood threat for many neighborhoods. As the rain intensifies overnight into Monday, residents are urged to stay tuned for updates and prepare for possible travel disruptions.

As we approach Thanksgiving week, drier and cooler air is expected, with temperatures dropping significantly by Thanksgiving Day. Travelers are advised to exercise caution if traveling on Monday morning, as road conditions may deteriorate due to flooding.
