DFW Airport received 3.10 inches of rain on Friday, which drenched the previous daily record of 2.76 inches that was recorded in 1949. Other locations across North Texas got over 5 inches.
The month of October has been exceptionally dry. DFW Airport was in a deficit of over 3 inches, but thanks to Friday’s downpours, October is now near normal precipitation-wise.
More rain is on the way on Saturday. A low-pressure system will slowly move eastward, which will spark up additional showers and storms by the afternoon. A few isolated stronger storms are possible, but the main concern is flooding.
An additional 1 to 2 inches of rain is possible for some areas, which could lead to flooded roadways. A flood watch is in effect until 10 p.m. for areas along and south of I-20. Please never drive through flooded roadways…
