Dallas weather: Flash Flood Warning in effect

The National Weather Service has issued a flash flood warning for Dallas County, as well as parts of Collin and Denton counties, in effect until 10:45 a.m. Friday. Heavy downpours could dump 1 to 3 inches of rain an hour, quickly flooding low-lying areas and causing water accumulation on roads and intersections. Emergency officials are warning drivers to exercise extreme caution on the roads, urging motorists to turn around if they encounter flooded water crossings. Localized street flooding is heavily impacting areas across the Metroplex, significantly slowing down travel times.
