Austin College weather station in central Grayson County now showing 6.30-inches of rainfall in the month of August.

Unbelievable.

[TheProfessor]

It's still raining here in Southern Denton county. Definitely not as much as places north and east of here, but we seemed to have had enough lift to allow for a semi continuous propagation with a few breaks in rain since it first started earlier in the evening.

@NBCDFWWeather -- A record rainfall of 1.78" was set at DFW yesterday. This breaks the old record of 1.52" set in 1991. #dfwwx

Grayson county got hit hard over night hope you folks are safe

DFW airport got a little over 2" with the storms

[Ntxw]

DFW has a dewpoint this morning of 76. That is New Orleans like values, pwats crazy high for any time of year in our area. Windows, eyeglasses all fog up instantly if from cool ac air to outside

[Portastorm]

Hey, could you guys up there in North Texas send a few of those storms down our way? We'd appreciate it. Thanks.

[Texas Snowman]

@NWSFortWorth -- 7am: #Flooding ongoing in Sherman/Denison. Turn around; don't drown. North #Texas Regional Airport recorded 6.38". #texomawx #txwx

[DonWrk]

It was a doozy in Sherman! Got reports back at my place of 4.5 inches currently awaiting flight from Cancun back to DFW but flight has been delayed for 2 hours so far!

[aggiecutter]

Texarkana received 2.5" of rain this morning, bringing the August total to 7.5"

[gboudx]

3.3" here.

[vbhoutex]

Sounds like the rains we got early this week in Houston. I got 5.75" at my house in a little over 3.5 hours. We're already over 6" for August or actually were once the storms ended on the 8th.

[Ntxw]

DFW airport is at 15.15" for the summer since June 1st. This is easily the wettest summer since 2007. Which is number 2 wettest at 16.99 trailing 2004 at 18.89" for JJA. To beat 2004 we would need 3.75" inches of rain the next 2 weeks.

Texarkana received 2.5" of rain this morning, bringing the August total to 7.5"

Aggiecutter, you have certainly won the rain jackpot this summer. An impressive total all summer.

[gpsnowman]

By the way, The Farmers Almanac winter outlook is out for those interested. I won't reveal anything here for those who have not read it, but several blizzards are predicted for North Texas. HA! Gotcha, just kidding.

Fort Worth NWS posted a graphic earlier today showing the big rains yesterday afternoon, last night and early this morning.

The highest measurement was 9.04 inches just west of where I live. All in about a 12-hour period.

There was significant flooding in Sherman with 25 high water rescues early this morning.

Highway 75 was submerged several feet deep at Bearcat Stadium and there was two to three feet of water that flooded the stadium.

There were some first floor apartments near a creek in Sherman that had several feet of water in them.
