Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Pouring rain here... glad I am not out fighting the crowds for Black Friday.

The flash flooding threat seems to be increasing for north TX including DFW. It's been raining pretty heavily here for several hours and looks to continue for another several hours with heavy rain continuing to stream in from the southwest. Many roads have standing water, and the ground can't keep up because there is standing water in most grassy areas. I think I read in one of FWD AFD's recently where they mentioned that flash flooding would be an even bigger risk because of the recent freeze. And this is only Round 1. Stay safe out there this weekend

I need a rain break at some point tomorrow. I have some clogged gutters to fix.

@NWSFortWorth: At 9:45 PM, DFW had received 1.84" of rain.The yearly total is now 52.59". The record is 53.54 so we are less than 1 inch away. #dfwwx #txwx

It's going to fall tonight. Some more heavy rain is moving into the big airport. And then some...

Tomorrow will be a combination of rain, cold, and wind.

Lets be glad we are not the panhandle of Texas. Very heavy convective rains while it is in the 20s and dropping. Icemaggeddon going on up there.

DFW is getting pounded with sheets of rain. That record should fall by the next reading before midnight. Flash flood warning for Johnson county, Tarrant and Dallas counties may be in line next.

6-8" will come easily, most areas around the metroplex are already reporting 3+ inches. DFW is just shy of 3 inches and a few hundredths short of the record at the midnight reading (likely surpassed by now). It is just ripping rain out there. Most of the models were suspecting this band tonight a little further north and west but it's sitting over the I20/I35 corridor

As of 12:14 AM CST DFW airport recorded 53.56" of rain for the year. This sets our all time record for highest rainfall in a year! #dfwwx

2015-2016 El Nino is one for the record books in North Texas. In what began as a series of ice/snow storms stemmed from the beginnings of the subtropical jet (WWB that got the Nino cranking) in February/March.

Fwiw, (not much) front is moving through north forth worth a little earlier than expected.

Yep, happens almost every time with an Arctic front coming down the Plains. For Tyler, the NAM is strangely slowing the front to a crawl east of Dallas. Showing it not getting to Tyler until midnight. Hi-Res models show just after noon. We are going to have some pissed off shoppers around town today that don't expect the cold until evening.

Far North Dallas. 4.5" in the rain gauge (need to dump it out). The cold came by so fast the interior of my windows are fogged.
70F at 4 AM. 55F at 4:22 AM. 50 now.

12Z NAM finally caught up with what is happening.

34 and cold rain here.

Sleet Froze on our car here in Topeka Kansas.

NWS FWD is saying the Metroplex could see an additional 3-7 inches of rain.

The old record from 1991 is going to get obliterated. And we still have an entire month to go. Goodness.
