WFAA Live Radar Highlights Rain and Cooler Labor Day Outlook

At 1:00 PM CDT on August 30, 2025, WFAA launched its Live DFW Radar feed, alerting North Texas viewers to an incoming band of scattered rain showers and a shift toward cooler temperatures over the upcoming Labor Day weekend. The live radar overlay showed:

  • A line of light to moderate showers entering the western suburbs of the Metroplex, moving eastward at 15-20 mph.
  • Rainfall rates generally under 0.10 in per hour, although isolated pockets briefly exceeded 0.20 in per hour in Parker and Tarrant counties.

Chief Meteorologist John Doe explained that a weakening cold front stalled over North Texas will continue to spark scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms into Monday, keeping the threat of brief downpours through late afternoon. Dew points behind the front are falling into the lower 60s, promising noticeably less humidity by Tuesday.

The Labor Day forecast, as detailed alongside the radar graphic, calls for:

DayHigh / Low (°F)Rain Chance
Sunday (Aug 31)89 / 7240%
Monday (Labor Day)86 / 6950%
Tuesday (Sept 2)84 / 6720%

Viewers were encouraged to keep the Live DFW Radar on throughout the weekend for real-time updates on rain coverage and timing, with the coolest, driest air arriving by mid-week.
