Overview
- Rounds of heavy rain that moved through the Dallas–Fort Worth area Sunday dropped an estimated 3 to 5 inches in the hardest‑hit neighborhoods with localized totals forecast as high as 6 to 8 inches.
- The National Weather Service kept flash‑flood warnings active Sunday for parts of Tarrant, Dallas, Ellis, Johnson, Kaufman and Rockwall counties and maintained a Flood Watch for most of North Texas through 4 p.m.
- Continuous overnight rainfall produced widespread low‑lying flooding and led emergency managers to close multiple roadways, including several closures reported around Cleburne in Johnson County.
- Dallas–Fort Worth International Airport recorded measurable rain during the event, with reports ranging from 1.04 inches on Saturday to 3.55 inches total by Sunday, a swing that erased much of the region’s early‑season precipitation deficit and increased runoff.
- Forecasters say scattered showers and a few isolated severe storms could continue through Sunday evening before a dry, high‑pressure pattern builds and pushes daytime highs into the mid‑to‑upper 90s next week, raising heat‑index concerns.
