The National Weather Service in Fort Worth has issued a Flash Flood Warning for the northern portion of the D/FW Metroplex. At 3 AM, parts of Interstate 635 were closed in NE Dallas due to high water on the roadway. Other roadways are also having issues with high water. Average rainfall totals have been 2 to 3 inches across this area with additional rainfall possible through 7 AM. Please give yourself extra time during morning rush hour and try not to get your car stuck in high water. We really don’t want to see you on the morning news. Here is the full Flash Flood Warning.

Storms continue across DFW (3 AM Update)

Over the past hour, thunderstorms have continued to move across the D/FW Metroplex. It appears the strong storm that was over Flower Mound and Lewisville helped push the stationary front, the focus point for the thunderstorms, further south into the D/FW Metroplex. As of the time of this writing, thunderstorms were now occurring along and north of Interstate 20 in D/FW. Some of these storms continue to produce frequent cloud to ground lightning with very heavy rain. The damaging wind threat has decreased once again and right now, we’re mainly looking at lightning and heavy rain as our primary issues. I see no reason why these storms won’t continue for the next few hours, so expect an unplesant rush hour.
In addition, we’re starting to get reports of water pounding on area roadways. Please keep that in mind as some roadways may have water over them and thus braking action could be reduced. So far, no reports of flash flooding have been received but we’ll keep an eye on rain totals.
Strong Thunderstorms in Denton, Tarrant, Dallas Counties (2 AM)

Radar at 1:55 AM[/caption]
An apparent MCV (Mesoscale Convective Vortex) formed in southern Denton County around 1:30 AM and that allowed for thunderstorms to strengthen over southern Denton County and northeast Tarrant Counties. The storm over Flower Mound and Lewisville is producing prolific lightning that has sparked several house fires in that area. Another strong storm in northeast Tarrant county is also producing lots of cloud to ground lightning.
These two storms will be capable of producing furious cloud to ground lightning, 50 MPH winds, and heavy rainfall as they continue to move to the east. No severe weather warnings are in effect right now, but these are dangerous lightning storms.
