The National Weather Service has issued a Flood Watch Alert for areas north of Interstate 20 in Dallas. This warning is effective from 6 p.m. Sunday and will remain in effect until Monday evening. This is the second flood watch for the region this week.
Impact of Recent Weather Patterns
This advisory accompanies a new storm system following a previous Pacific storm. The forecast indicates heavy rainfall, particularly during Monday’s morning commute. Drivers and commuters are urged to exercise caution as the heaviest rain is expected around rush hour.
Forecasted Rainfall Amounts
Over the next 24 to 36 hours, the flood watch area is projected to receive:
- 1 to 2 inches of rain.
- Possible isolated totals of 3 to 4 inches in some locations.
The highest rainfall potential is expected along I-20 and the areas to the north and east.
Previous Weather Events
Earlier this week, a different system deposited between four to six inches of rain across various locations over a similar time frame. More widespread rain and thunderstorms are forecasted to begin by Sunday afternoon and continue into the evening hours.
Storm Predictions for Monday
Late Sunday night, as storms shift eastward into Monday, unstable air combined with an approaching boundary may lead to a slight risk of strong to severe storms, especially in the southern and eastern regions.
Looking Ahead
Tuesday is expected to dry rapidly, with temperatures rising into the 70s. A strong cold front will follow, bringing cooler and drier conditions just in time for the Thanksgiving holiday.
