A low pressure system feeding a very rich band of tropical moisture from near the equator will pass over north Texas the next two or three days. This system will very likely bring heavy rainfall, and some flash flooding may be possible. The low pressure interestingly enough evolved from a small cluster of thunderstorms which developed last week over the Texas caprock. The low has meandered around Texas since then, catching a hold on rich tropical moisture. Rainfall estimates for the DFW Metroplex range from 2-3 inches likely, with pockets of 4 inches possible.
The rainfall will be very much welcomed, after our below average May rainfall. With the onset of La Nina coming this summer, we can use all the rainfall we can get right now. The heaviest rain will occur Wednesday and Thursday likely during the night time. However rainfall will be possible all day on both days.
