DALLAS — Updated at 6:10 a.m. Friday with additional information.
Heavy rainfall has come to an end across most of North Texas. There could be some pockets of heavier rain in far eastern or northeastern North Texas today, but most places are finished with heavy rain.
There will be on and off showers and drizzle throughout the day. Enough to keep the roads wet, and to want to keep the umbrella with you.
It will also be cloudy, cool to chilly, and breezy today.
Highs will only be in the 40s to low 50s this afternoon. Even though it is fall, these temps are 20°+ below normal for this time of the year!
Rain will slowly taper off from west to east today. By this evening, rain should be more intermittent.
Best chances of a dry Friday evening will be across western North Texas with better chances for lingering rain across eastern North Texas.
For the DFW area, dress warm for sure! However, you’ll likely need the umbrella or poncho if you are planning on sitting out at any Friday football games this evening.
All rain will come to an end tonight into Saturday morning. Skies will clear on Saturday with sunshine returning and warmer temps. Highs look to be in the 60s.
Sunday will be even warmer, and actually a rather nice fall day. Highs on Sunday will climb into the 70s.
If you are curious about rainfall, we definitely saw a widespread rain across North Texas. However, not everyone saw decent totals.
Highest totals were in the central part of North Texas, including the DFW area. Totals there ranged from around 1 to 2+ inches. Lesser totals were to the west and east of the DFW area with totals less than an inch in most of those locations.
Probably not drought busting just yet, but definitely a step in the right direction!
