Roads flooded in North Texas after morning storms swept across the region

Much of North Texas woke up to stormy weather on Friday, with a cluster of strong storms moving across the Metroplex starting before 6 a.m. 

The storms produced very heavy rainfall, frequent lightning and gusty winds.  

The National Weather Service allowed a flash flood warning for parts of Dallas, Collin and Denton Counties to expire at 11:45 a.m. 

A cold front is currently draped across the Metroplex and additional showers and thunderstorms remain possible this afternoon, especially south of Dallas into Ellis, Johnson, Kaufman and surrounding counties. The First Alert Weather team will continue monitoring area creeks, canals, rivers and other bodies of water for lingering high water issues and will provide updates if conditions change.

Video from areas around Dallas Friday morning show vehicles driving through flooded streets, with some getting stuck in the high waters.

The weather also delayed the start of the FIFA World Cup Fan Fest in at Fair Park in Dallas until 2 p.m.

A river flood warning is in place for parts of White Rock Creek and the Trinity River in Dallas County through Saturday morning.

The FAA put in place a nationwide ground stop for both DFW and Dallas Love Field airports in the morning, keeping all inbound planes at their origins. New regional ground stops were issued for both airports in the afternoon, set to expire at 3:15 p.m.
