We might soon be singing B.J. Thomas’ 1969 hit song Raindrops Keep Fallin’ on My Head as much-needed precipitation heads our way.
According to weather experts, we can expect rainfall to commence early Friday morning and continue for most of the day, clearing up by nightfall.
The anticipated amount of rainfall will range between 0.50 inches to 1.50 inches, with no flooding or severe weather predicted within this system.
Rain in DFW is a welcomed prospect as we remain 9.58 inches below normal for precipitation this year. For the month of December, meteorologists have recorded that we are already 1.17 inches below average rainfall for DFW, according to NBC 5 DFW. As such, moderate and severe drought conditions continue to extend from the Red River to parts of the state west of Fort Worth.
According to the National Weather Service, Friday’s rain will spread throughout North and Central Texas. However, the rain is expected to leave the metroplex by Saturday afternoon, with highs in the 50s.
Sunday is projected to offer a departure from the cloud coverage, with lows in the 30s and highs in the 50s and 60s.
Looking ahead to next week, we will kick off with mostly sunny to partly cloudy skies, with lows remaining steady in the 30s and highs lingering in the 50s and 60s.
Sorry, North Texans, it looks like a White Christmas is not in the forecast. The good news is that Santa will likely have clear skies on Christmas Eve, with lows in the 40s, to make his deliveries with ease.
