Radar estimated rainfall as of 2/4/12 1:40 am CST.

Folks in the southern plains states of Texas, Oklahoma, and even into Arkansas will likely get a round of strong to severe thunderstorms starting Thursday evening.

Some light rain fell across the region late Wednesday and early Thursday morning. Not on par with the deluge of rain we had the night before, but still very beneficial. The entire region had at least some measurable precipitation the last 24 hours, which is great news for the drought stricken lone star state!
Very heavy rainfall fell across the entire region overnight and this morning January 25. Some high water rescues have occurred across the D/FW Metroplex this morning as well. Area wide 2 to 5 inches of rain have fallen with some isolated locations receiving even more.

The Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex may get its first winter weather of the season early next week, as a strong cold front subducts warmer moist air over north Texas. The last few runs of the NAM and GFS models are now indicating that Monday any time after noon, winter weather may impact the Metroplex, with the northwestern areas much more favorable.

Widespread beneficial rains and severe weather appears quite possible this weekend and early next week.
