October 8-9, 2011
A large, slow-moving upper-level low pressure system brought much needed rainfall to drought-stricken North Texas. The precipitation forecast for Saturday and Sunday looked like this:
Graphicast issued early Saturday morning.
Showers and thunderstorms initiated in West Texas early Saturday morning (October 8) and quickly developed into a slow, eastwardly progressing line. This line reached the western portions of North Texas by Saturday afternoon and Interstate 35 by Saturday night. Moderate to heavy rainfall occurred west of I-35 for most of the night Saturday. By Sunday morning, numerous locations had 24-hour rainfall totals over 4 inches:
· Comanche 8.30”
· Dublin 6.10”
· Stephenville 5.78”
· Cleburne 5.53”
· Mineral Wells 5.14”
· Goldthwaite 5.00”
· Weatherford 4.79”
· Breckenridge 4.77”
· Hico 4.72”
· Waco Lake 4.35”
· Waco Airport 4.28”
· Palo Pinto 4.00”
Graphicast issued Sunday morning. The image is 24-hour radar estimated rainfall totals. Actual rainfall totals are listed for a few locations.
Light to moderate rain continued throughout the day Sunday for areas along and east of I-35. A large area of thunderstorms developed across south Texas, which limited the amount of moisture available to the showers across North Texas. As a result, 24 hour rainfall amounts for Sunday were much less than those on Saturday night:
· Gunter 0.89”
· Gainesville 0.82”
· Collinsville 0.60”
· Clifton 0.52”
· Prosper 0.47”
· McKinney 0.32”
· Carrollton 0.22”
· Lewisville 0.20”
Here are the preliminary 72-hour rainfall totals, by county, ending at 1 PM Monday, October 10. Only locations with totals greater than 1” are listed.
