There hasn’t been a trace amount of rain in Dallas the entirety of October.
The last recorded amount of rain in the area was Sept. 25 with a reported 0.1 inches of rain at DFW International Airport and 1.08 inches at Dallas Love Field, according to data from the National Weather Service.
The chance for the dry streak ending likely won’t be until at least the end of next week, according to a Thursday weather service advisory.
A pattern change late next week is what will cause a high chance for measurable rain, though the uncertainty is high on that forecast right now.
Warm and breezy conditions are lingering throughout North Texas for the next several days with highs in the 80s and 90s. These are above-normal temperatures for this time of year and could break daily records, like the 90-degree high Wednesday in Waco.
While the dry conditions remain, so does the elevated grass fire threat.
