Flash flood warning for most of Tarrant
County, about 2 to 4 inches of rain falling
across the northern part of the county,
and that's a lot in a little amount
of all that fell hour hour and a half.
I mean a lot for any area to deal
with and it just shows you the type of
thunderstorms that we're dealing with over
the next 24 hours and any rain that falls.
Any storms are out.
There are going to be very,
very efficient rainfall producers,
so any rain that falls could stack up very,
very quickly and because things
have been so dry recently,
everything just runs off.
And of course you're in the city,
the concrete. Asphalt the buildings.
All that just help all that runoff
happen even quicker as well.
So be on alert.
Yeah especially as we head into
tomorrow morning because I am
expecting more in the way of widespread
rain through the morning hours.
Tomorrow,
UNT and Denton fairly dry at the moment,
but you're kind of looking to the South.
So every now and then you'll see a
lightning flash off in the distance
from that thunderstorm that is
taking place in Tarrant County.
Here's what things look like from
Fort Worth or you're looking down
at the streets of Fort Worth there.
And obviously it is raining at the moment.
Here you go. What the radar looks like.
Got some heavy downpours?
Kind of between.
Carrollton and Plano and the
George Bush Turnpike right now,
but that bulk of the heavy rain continues
to fall in Tarrant County right now,
especially from Fort Worth to
North Fort Worth to Saginaw out to
Haltom City to Bedford, Arlington.
You're about to see some thunderstorms
Kennedale you're now seeing some storms.
You can also see where that flash
flood warning was in place.
Looks like the kind of bullseye of
heaviest rain is falling between
Watauga and Haltom City 2 plus inches,
but I wouldn't be surprised if maybe
there's some 4 inch totals already
with some totals anywhere to one
to two to maybe 3 inches across.
The anywhere from Fort Worth to
white settlement.
Up to Saginaw, across the rest of Fort Worth,
other places in North Texas,
Terrell seeing a heavy downpour
at the moment,
maybe kind of Rockwall to the heath area,
seeing some heavy rain at the moment.
And then South of DFW,
some moderate rain falling in Ellis
County from Midlothian down to Ennis
and a little heavier thunderstorm here
kind of between Cleburne and Granbury.
So any thunderstorms that are
out there capable of,
you know,
some ponding on the area roadways
and maybe picking up a quick half
an inch or something like that.
But definitely the heaviest of
which continues to fall in Tarrant
County at the moment.
But that's kind of where the
bulk of the rain is falling.
Just, you know,
from DFW,
maybe just to the South and off to the east
as well. I know not everybody saw rain today.
There were quite a few places
that didn't really see much,
including a good chunk of
Denton and Collin counties.
Hardly a drop at all.
But you can see what happens when you find
yourself underneath the thunderstorm.
Fort Worth well over an inch
and it's still falling.
Granberry picked up over 2 1/2 inches.
Boy picked up almost 2
1/2 inches of rain today.
Dallas has picked up over half an inch.
So you can see how if we get
another round of widespread rain,
that easily puts us in that
one to four inch range.
Most places,
probably in that two to four inch
range and where we're concerned
with that localized flooding threat
through the morning hours tomorrow.
And that's why all of North Texas
is under a flood watch through the
day tomorrow because instances of
localized flooding are possible with
any round of rounds of heavy rain.
Let's talk the timing.
So there's midnight Storm
still lingering in DFW.
Maybe kind of a lull in the
activity in the late night hours,
but then we start to see this more
widespread rain developing across
the northern part of North Texas.
First thing tomorrow morning.
There's five AM 7:00 AM.
It starts creeping into
the South a little bit.
So we'll absolutely every single
place in North Texas be seeing heavy
rain at 7:00 AM tomorrow morning.
As you head out the door,
no, but if you're a Decatur,
you're in Denton.
If you're in McKinney,
you certainly could be northern
half of North Texas favored area
first thing tomorrow morning.
So if you headed out the door,
taking the kids to the bus stop,
be aware there could be heavy rain.
Watch out for, you know,
water on the roadways.
I mean, obviously if it's raining,
there's water on the roadways.
But standing water on the
roadways and things like that,
the good news is by tomorrow afternoon
you're picking up the kids from school.
Things should be drying out.
Let's take you through the rest of the day.
Tomorrow there's 8:00 AM.
Those thunderstorms starting to
become a little bit more widespread,
especially around DFW 10:00 AM toward noon.
Rounds of heavy rain are out there,
but as we head into the afternoon
kind of the bulk of that heavy rain
shifts into Southern eastern and
southeastern North Texas and will
continue moving to the South through
the evening hours by 5:00 o'clock.
Besides a little lingering rain,
most of North Texas and most of
the FW really starting to dry out,
so my localized flooding concerns,
at least for DFW overnight.
Yeah, low to moderate chance,
kind of like we're seeing in
Fort Worth right now,
localized just a chance here or there.
Monday morning it's perhaps a little
bit better chance across the area,
but by the afternoon into the
evening hours things will really
start to be tapering off.
So tonight thunderstorms
will be on the increase.
Obviously with some heavy rain
possible and localized flooding.
If you find yourself underneath
any of those heavy storms
morning thunderstorms tomorrow,
but tapering off during the afternoon
and evening hours and any thunderstorms
that will will have heavy rain.
I know a little earlier a couple of
days ago it was looking like this rain
really may linger for a few days.
I think we're really going to
start drying out by Tuesday.
There will be some spotty showers,
but nothing widespread and heavy really.
For most of you.
Your chances of heavy rain are through
the midday hours tomorrow and then.
It's just some spotty rain Tuesday.
Maybe an isolated shower storm
Wednesday where dry Thursday,
Friday and then some spotty rain may
return by the weekend and into next week,
but temperatures stay below normal
on that entire 10 day forecast.
