| event_narrative | The arctic cold front that moved into North Texas on the 4th remained stationary over the area through the 7th. Rich gulf moisture remained in place and periods of heavy rain and thunderstorms occurred as several upper level disturbances translated across the area. Soils were saturated from earlier precipitation and each rain event triggered another period of flash flooding as heavy runoff overwhelmed swollen creeks and streams. Numerous roads were flooded and closed and many homes were engulfed in rising flood water. Widespread rainfall totals of two to four inches for the 3-day period from the 4th through the 7th occurred. A band of five to seven inches of rain fell from Arlington to Bonham and a band of five to ten inches of rain fell from Temple to Waco to Corsicana to Tyler. This period of heavy rain contributed to the unusually wet monthly precipitation totals across much of the area. January 1998 was the third wettest January on record in the Dallas/Fort Worth area and it was the second wettest January on record in the Waco area. |
