A Flash Flood Warning has been issued for Denton and Collin Counties in North Texas. This warning runs until 7 AM although it could just as easily be extended in duration. Automated rain gauges have indicated that rainfall rates of one to one and a half inches are occuring over the past hour. Many roads are experiencing flooding and are being closed. Flood waters will continue and could begin to impact roadways that do not normally flood. With Black Friday shopping traffic expected this morning I stress the need to not drive into flood waters.
