It’s been a remarkably dry October so far, but the tide is likely about to turn.
Friday is expected to be cloudy and somewhat humid before the chance of rain jumps around 4 p.m., according to the National Weather Service’s Fort Worth office. Once the showers and storms arrive late Friday afternoon, the hourly chance of rain should remain above 70% for over 24 hours.
In that time, about 2.5 inches of rain are expected to fall in Dallas County. A flood watch has been issued for much of North Texas, with up to 5 inches of precipitation possible.

The watch warns that excessive runoff could lead to flooding in rivers, creeks, streams and other low-lying locations. There is also a risk of flooding in urban areas with poor drainage.
Rain is forecast to continue until Sunday, but storms look to be the most severe on Friday night and in the early hours of Saturday morning.
