Rain, maybe a lot for our area!
Comment received from: "Robert"
A lot of us woke up to some heavy rain and thunderstorms this morning. There has even been a possible tornado southeast of our area down near Richland in Navarro County. The National Weather Service will be investigating this, but as of now it seems that there was a billboard blown down along with downed power lines and uprooted trees. There was an apparent 50 yard wide damage path to tree tops along interstate 45. All this occurred a bit before 8 a.m. this morning. This system is moving off to the northeast and will not be affecting our area.
There is a good chance that storms will form again later today as we heat up. Some storms will possibly contain damaging winds and very heavy rainfall. We have a deep tropical air mass over the area, so flooding rains may become a problem again this afternoon depending on where the storms fire up. The Trinity river at Dallas is expected to crest above flood stage this afternoon.
Several computer models are forecasting a wet weekend coming up. This will be due to Hurricane Henriette's remnants moving into North Texas. I will keep an eye on that situation.
Here is a satellite map from this morning. I have made some annotations to give you an idea of areas I'm watching.
