Rain arrived in Dallas-Fort Worth Saturday evening, as the region is under a flood watch.
Anywhere between 1 to 3 inches of rain — with some isolated spots of 4 inches or higher — is expected, according to the National Weather Service. Meanwhile, a flood watch that began Saturday afternoon is set to last until 7 p.m. Sunday.
Parts of Dallas, Denton and Collin counties are also under a flash flood warning until midnight into Sunday.
In particular, the weather service said shortly before 9:30 p.m. that dangerous flash flooding was likely ongoing in the Carrollton, Addison and Plano area. Between three to four inches of rain have fallen in the past 90 minutes in this part of the D-FW, the agency said.
Around the same time, Carrollton police said they were working with the city’s fire department to assist some stalled vehicles due to high water. Though police said no injuries were reported as of 9:45 p.m.
Meanwhile, Dallas police also responded to at least two cases of vehicles being stuck in high water Saturday evening. In both situations, police said the driver was able to get out of the vehicle and was not injured.
“Avoid low water crossings and other areas that are prone to flooding!” the weather service said.
A flood warning was also issued for Greenville by the Weather Service.
On Sunday, rain chances are also set to linger throughout the day, according to NBC5. Some heavy rain is possible with the storms, according to the Weather Service.
High temperatures are set to be in the low 90s for the next week or so, with a slight respite from the heat expected Sunday due to the rain.
