Rain has ended Dallas-Fort Worth’s 67-day stretch without measurable precipitation, the area’s second-longest dry streak on record.
National Weather Service figures show Fort Worth received 4.05 inches in one day, its highest daily total in nearly three years. Dallas recorded 3.94 inches since the start of October, though only 0.02 inches fell there on the day Fort Worth logged its peak. Some North Texas cities have received between 3 and 5 inches this month after a dry summer.
The storms caused minor flooding in Dallas as Walnut and White Rock creeks rose Thursday. The city did not see extensive power outages or widespread street flooding.
Rain chances around Dallas-Fort Worth remain near 30% through late Sunday morning. The following days are expected to be mostly sunny and dry, with highs in the low 80s.
