Hi All,
Since Friday night, we have gotten much needed rain. There has been 3.50 inches of rain here since Friday night. It is a very welcome sight!

And there's much more rain to come this morning! SWEET!!

The only question is: Will it be enough to cover the 6 inch rain deficit?

Very doubtful. But hopefully, this is just a start of more consistent rain events. I'm hoping for an easing of the water restrictions in my area by end of Sept, but Lake Lavon needs a lot of rain for that to happen.

Ok,... I hope those storms out in west texas make it all the way here, my legs are killing me!! I can usually "feel" the rain, and right now i am quite sore... Ug!!!

From the Radar Loop, the storms in West Texas are moving ENE, so yeah, they're heading my direction. By the time it's all said and done, we'll probably get at least 2-3 inches to put a dent in the drought.

Shoot ... I'm excited because I'm seeing rain one county away right now! Isn't that sorry?! :lol:

Our local NWS forecasters appear optimistic about our rain chances so we shall see.

THROUGH 300 PM...A BAND OF SHOWERS AND A FEW THUNDERSTORMS WILL
CONTINUE SOUTH OF A LINE FROM PARIS AND EMORY...TO STEPHENVILLE...TO
COMANCHE AND GOLDTHWAITE. THE STRONGEST STORMS WILL MOVE ACROSS BELL

40 MPH CAN BE EXPECTED WITH THESE STORMS AS THEY MOVE EAST AT
20 MPH.

TO THE NORTH...ANOTHER AREA OF SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
WILL EXPAND ACROSS COOKE...MONTAGUE...DENTON...AND WISE COUNTIES.
THESE STORMS WERE MOVING SOUTH AT 10 MPH...AND WILL PRODUCE
RAINFALL OF UP TO 2 INCHES PER HOUR. FREQUENT LIGHTNING AND GUSTY

latest AFD mentions the front WILL make it!

STRENGTHENING UPPER
TROUGH AXIS WORKING ITS WAY EASTWARD TOWARD THE EASTERN STATES THIS
WEEK WILL ALLOW A COLD FRONT TO MOVE THROUGH SOUTHEAST TEXAS SOME TIME
TOMORROW OR TOMORROW NIGHT. GRADUAL DRYING BEHIND THIS FRONT MEANS MUCH
DRIER WEATHER FOR THE AREA WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY. THE DRIER AIRMASS
WILL BRING COOLER OVERNIGHT LOW TEMPERATURES TOO...AND WE MIGHT EVEN
DROP INTO THE 60S ACROSS OUR NORTHERN COUNTIES THURSDAY MORNING AND
FRIDAY MORNING. RAIN MIGHT COME BACK INTO THE PICTURE BY SUNDAY AS ANOTHER
FRONTAL BOUNDARY APPROACHES THE AREA.

And ANOTHER front is expected on Sunday too!

DFW has only reached 81 degrees today; I'll bet that's a huge relief for you guys.

Glad to see a break in the weather for north TX and the KC region. We ended up with 4.25 inches of rain over the weekend.
