Impressive overnight urban flash flood event in the Dallas/Fort Worth area with 9.46 inches of rainfall in 6-hr and 7.8 inches in 3-hr. Significant flash flooding has resulted. A 1-hr storm total of 3.01 inches was recorded at DFW with a storm total of 6.54 inches which wiped out 67% of the sites 2022 rainfall deficit in a few hours.
This afternoon/evening:
Weak frontal boundary is currently sagging into N TX and will slowly move southward today reaching a line from near Tyler to Madisonville to Georgetown by this afternoon. Air mass south of this boundary is already moist and unstable and with heating will become highly charged with energy by early to mid afternoon. Showers and thunderstorms will develop along the frontal boundary and move southward along with their associated outflow boundaries into air mass temperatures likely in the mid to upper 90’s.
Trough axis and mid-level low pressure system over the northern Gulf of Mexico will drift westward over the weekend and into the lower TX coast.
After months of drought and heat it finally appears that much of the area will see some relief this week as several factors combine to bring widespread rains to the area. Scattered showers and thunderstorms will again develop along the seabreeze today…these storms will have the potential to produce lightning induced fires (as seen yesterday over east Texas). Wednesday starts the same as today, but changes begin by afternoon as a decent shortwave in the developing eastern US trough digs southward over the MS valley.
