Rainfall totals continue to increase with widespread light rainfall across most of north Texas. I re-checked earlier today and DFW Airport’s total rainfall had increased, now bumping us up to the 7th rainiest October. Below is measured rainfall totals as of approximately 7:00am Monday morning. This is provided by the CoCoRaHS network, volunteers around the country who provide daily rainfall reports. The highest amount reported is 3.55 inches in extreme north Collin County. This area is very close to the area where radar estimates 6.35 inches in roughly the same time period. Looks like most of the Metroplex received a very healthy amount of rainfall, bouncing around 0.75 inches up through 2 inches.
Below is radar estimated precipitation totals since Sunday at 6pm. A very large area south and east of the Metroplex received well over 4 inches of rainfall. This should help remove any patchy areas of drought still remaining in these areas.
Tuesday and Wednesday should clear up with cooler temperatures and partly cloudy skies. The rain should hopefully clear up overnight and be clear for Tuesday, we will see though. Next up, thunderstorms are likely this upcoming Thursday, with the Storm Prediction Center having a high degree of confidence that severe weather will occur here as well. I will give updates in more detail later since it is so late right now.
