From Steve McCauley:
There will be scattered showers and t-storms across north Texas this evening, and then a large cluster of storms will approach from the northwest by morning. The latest data take the core of the storm cluster and push it across Oklahoma and the Red River Counties during the predawn hours continuing into the late morning. This is about 50 miles farther north than yesterday's data suggest it would be.

But this is probably a moot point. The Thursday morning rain is not the main event. We will have another afternoon of scattered showers and storms on Thursday, and then a squall line will form to the west and sweep across most of north Texas Thursday night and lingering into Friday morning. This will be the main rain event and possibly bring severe weather with downburst winds possible. Highest threat for severe weather will be in the western half of north Texas Thursday afternoon and night. Heaviest rainfall amounts will be across the north and northeast sections of north Texas.

We are finally almost within 24 hours of the main event ! So stay tuned...


We're in Telluride, CO this week and will miss the rain. But we'll miss the 70s for highs and low humidity after we leave here.

The San Angelo office mentioned a potential excessive rain event setting up. :eek: This area is upstream of Lakes Travis and Buchanan. We will see what happens overnight. They need the water.

"AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN ANGELO TX
927 PM CDT Wed Jul 16 2014

.DISCUSSION...
Increase POPs and added mention of heavy rainfall tonight after
collaboration with the Weather Prediction Center and NESDIS. We
both feel there is a potential for heavy rainfall tonight as low
level jet interacts with old outflow boundaries tonight and upper
level divergence aloft in advance of approaching upper trough of low
pressure. For this reason, WPC placed much of WC TX in a slight risk
for excessive rainfall tonight. Plan to issue an SPS to highlight
heavy rainfall threat and update HWO."

This morning's rain area is further south than I expected at this time and it is also more intense. I am glad that the much awaited rains well commence shortly. Hope everyone gets multiple inches.

wow, looking at the radar for the last hour, there is Biblical rain training over Denton Co.

Looks awesome on radar and falling where we need it to. Looks like anyone between I-10 and I-40 is gonna get some good rain. Hope everyone enjoys the wet weather and stays safe as there will be much street flooding and some flash flooding.

2.45" at my hours in a localized thunderstorm yesterday afternoon. That makes nearly 5" for July. More rain coming.

Biblical indeed, according to NWS FW an area just north of Denton (near Sanger) saw 7-11" of rain. Don't know if that's official but that is wild. The complex of rain over the northern parts of the state is moving very slow. Once it starts raining it won't be in a hurry to move.

The main core of those high totals are no more than 8-10 miles from my house! The parts in Cooke County. I've got around 1.75 inches here so far.

I was really hoping to be wrong, but it's looking highly doubtful that I will see 1" of rain out of this. Everything north of I-30.

Guess I will cut the sprinkler system on, at least evaporation will be low today thanks to the cloud cover.

Why so quick to call it quits? This isn't even the main show yet and even this batch is even more south than the models were showing for it which was Oklahoma. I would wait until the whole event is over, because if you do get the rain then you would've been wasting water.

+1

Not to mention, a good chunk of this is falling in the lake watersheds. I don't get all the negativity.

Dude, I'm looking at the radar at 9:22 am and I see all kinds of rain right over Heath. Even a yellow-colored spot near the city. You gotta be getting some rain now. There's more to come. Please, step back from the ledge! :wink:

For you folks in north and central Texas, you need to check out the latest mesoscale precip discussion linked below. Stay safe, everyone! Flooding rains in Texas in July NOT caused by a tropical system ... crazy man, crazy.

We got a quarter inch, which of course I'll take gladly. I ran to Rockwall for a minute, my goodness, it was torrential rain up there. Amazing what a difference 7-9 miles can make. There's one more small line approaching from the West, then it's looking dry through Dallas and Tarrant counties.

I'd gladly eat a serving of crow on this, but I still think the majority of the heavy rain is roughly along a Durant OK to Texarkana line.

Isn't that the truth? Yesterday morning was cool, dry and crisp - amazing for July. The atmosphere recovered crazy fast to produce rains, and the rains in Denton/Sanger are almost biblical - near a foot in some spots.

Models have performed poorly on convection with most activity occuring south of the Red River and not much in Oklahoma. NCTX needs to watch out for flooding, stationary front is setting up a highway for storms near the I-20 corridor

Looks like Lake Lewisville will win the lottery with the biblical rains falling in its watershed today. Good for them! Hate the flooding for people and their property, nothing worse than your home and all your stuff being innundated with floodwater.



Oh, and I will be having a tasty crow for dinner, anyone care to join me? :lol: :lol:

1.97" today, not bad at all.

Radar appears to have some good rain headed to Collin county, that would be great for lakes Lavon and Hubbard, both are extremely low.
