UPDATE: The Dallas-Fort Worth area is reeling from a record-breaking rainfall event, as 3.95 inches fell in just 24 hours on November 16, 2023, shattering the previous November record of 3.45 inches set in 2015. This unprecedented downpour has raised urgent concerns about flooding as heavy rain is expected to return this weekend.
Residents of DFW are breathing a temporary sigh of relief with drier, pleasant weather today, but forecasters are warning of a significant shift. The National Weather Service has indicated that showers are set to move back in starting Sunday, with flood watches likely to be issued as rain totals could reach between 1 to 3 inches through Monday morning.
Today’s forecast shows a warm, comfortable day ahead, with temperatures climbing into the mid-70s, peaking at around 77 degrees. However, morning commuters in the Metroplex should be cautious due to patchy, dense fog affecting visibility.
Looking ahead, Saturday morning is expected to start cool and comfortable, but cloud cover will increase throughout the day. By Sunday night, the threat of flooding will return, prompting residents to prepare for potentially hazardous conditions.
Travelers are advised to exercise caution, especially on Monday morning, as wet roads may complicate commutes. As drier, cooler air moves in next week, Thanksgiving Day is likely to bring chilly weather, impacting holiday travel across the region.
This situation remains developing, and residents are encouraged to stay informed through local news updates and alerts from the National Weather Service. Share this urgent weather update with friends and family to ensure everyone is prepared for the upcoming conditions.
