 8:49 a.m. - Heavy rain and icy conditions are likely to stick around through most of the Thanksgiving holiday weekend in parts of the central U.S. due to a slow-moving, complex weather system that's being blamed for at least 3 flash-flooding deaths. 
 
 "There's a pretty substantial shield of rain extending from parts of Texas across a lot of Oklahoma and into the mid-Mississippi Valley," said John Hart, a meteorologist with the Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Oklahoma.

 7:32 a.m. - The National Weather Service says a Flash Flood Watch remains in effect for North Texas through Sunday afternoon. Additional rainfall totals of 1 to 3 inches are possible... that's in addition to the 1 to 6 inches that have accumulated since Thanksgiving Day. The ground is saturated, which means additional precipitation is likely to cause flooding, especially near creeks and streams. You've heard it before, but heed this warning: Do not drive where water covers the road; you can't be sure the road surface is intact. 
 
 7:30 a.m. - Dallas Fire-Rescue helped a woman to safety after her vehicle was inundated by flood waters early Saturday morning. Her 911 call for help came in around 1:30 a.m. A rescue team waded into deep water at Wildwood Drive and California Crossing in Northwest Dallas, an area known for flooding during heavy rains.

 FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 27 
 
 10:56 p.m. - Several more rounds of rain before it's all said and done. Rainfall rates in this next batch about 1/4" per hour. Usually that wouldn't be a problem for North Texas, but today it is due to the previous 3"-6" of rain that has fallen over the past 48 hours. Even "light showers" may cause impacts. Rainfall totals will just continue to add up. Exercise caution and common sense while out on the roads! ? - Meteorologist Colleen Coyle 
 
 9:46 p.m. - Plano is reporting two sewer overflows at Big Leaf Court and on the Gleneagles Golf Course on Campbell Road. Officials say more than 200,000 gallons of sewage will overflow in those places combined before midnight. 
 
 9:26 p.m. - An ice storm is in progress to our west across the eastern Texas Panhandle-South Plains, north into western Oklahoma. Meanwhile, another broad area of cold rain is moving into north Texas from the southwest and will cover all the Metroplex and surrounding area, adding another 1 to 4 inches on top of the 4 to 8 inches that have already fallen. Flooding concerns will only increase as the night progresses. 
 
 The rain will be with us on and off (mostly on) throughout the weekend although not quite as heavy as what we have already seen. Still, some locations will approach nearly a foot of rain by sunset Sunday. -- Meteorologist Steve McCauley

 8:39 p.m. - Moisture continues to stream into North Texas. That will keep the rain going as more development moves from San Angelo to DFW. It's like a conveyor belt of showers! 
 
 7:16 p.m. - Another heavy band of rain has made its way into parts of the DFW area. Rainfall rates are around 1" per hour. Normally, that wouldn't be a problem, but this is falling on top of the 4"-6" of rain that we've already received. Flooding issues will persist. 
 
 5:19 p.m. - Arlington Christkindl Market will be closed tonight. A new opening date has not been set. 
 
 5:16 p.m. - A batch of heavy rain is moving northeast across Palo Pinto County. Rainfall rates are about 1"-1.25" per hour. It should move through quickly, but we will need to monitor for any flooding problems. 
 
 4:52 p.m. -Another wave of rain is approaching the DFW area. Don't let the "on and off showers" and "lighter rain" fool you today! Even the light showers are adding to our rainfall totals. As time ticks away, our rainfall totals will continue to slowly and steadily rise. That will keep the flood threat high overnight. Flooded roadways will be hard to see after dark so use extreme caution! 
 
 3 p.m. - Weekend weather outlook: 
 
 Facebook | @WFAA Weather Additional waves of rain will continue to affect 
 
 2:30 p.m. - High water forced the closing of Prairie Lights in Grand Prairie. 
 
 "To ensure public safety, Prairie Lights is closed tonight Friday, November 27, due to high water caused by the rains," a city spokesperson said. "We expect to be open for business tomorrow, Saturday, November 28, receding water levels permitting." 
 
 2:15 p.m. - Dallas Fire-Rescue said that, by 11 a.m., it had responded to 27 water rescues and 83 motor vehicle accidents. DFR said the water rescues "didn't necessitate a boat or swift water team," and that a majority of the calls were in reference to cars stalled in high water.

 2 p.m. - It's beginning to look a lot like…a wet and cold Holiday Weekend! On the heels of Thanksgiving, waves of rain will continue to affect North Texas through Sunday afternoon. Most of the area has already seen 3"-6" of rain since Noon Thursday. With additional rainfall on top of already saturated soils, flash flooding remains a high threat. Exercise caution and common sense when travelling over the weekend. 
 
 Though we expect rain to continue, severe weather and winter weather are not expected in North Texas. Though temperatures tumbled behind our cold front Friday morning, everybody will stay above freezing. However, you will run into Old Man Winter if your plans are taking you into parts of the Texas Panhandle. Here at home, we will experience a cold rain with temperatures only warming to the 40s Saturday and Sunday afternoon. 
 
 As of 12:14am Friday, 2015 broke rainfall records becoming the wettest year ever for the DFW area.

 County Sheriff's officials said the flooding took place near the Johnson County-Mansfield border, off County Road 917. 
 
 12 p.m. - A second death was confirmed in Johnson County floods, bringing the total number of deaths to three. County officials were expected to release information on the second death early Friday afternoon.

 9:45 a.m. - Multiple fatalities have been reported in North Texas flooding. In addition to a 33-year-old woman found after being washed out of her vehicle by high water in Johnson County, a man's body was pulled from a vehicle near Balmoral and Brand Road in Garland. 
 
 Capt. George Winton of Garland Fire said that, when his crew arrived, the vehicle was still visible. By the time a rescue team arrived, the car was submerged in flood waters.

 9 a.m - Periods of light to moderate showers will continue for the rest of today. A heavier batch rain is expected to move in late this afternoon and evening. 
 
 This will certainly aggravate the flooding problem going into tonight. An additional 3-5 inches of rain is expected today through early Sunday. Locally higher amounts are possible. This is on top of the nearly five inches we've seen at DFW as of 8 a.m. Friday. 
 
 Another round of heavier rain is also expected during the day on Saturday as moisture from Hurricane Sandra streams into the area. 
 
 2015 is now the wettest year on record with 55.23" so far. This breaks the old record of 53.54" in 1991. 
 
 The other part of the weather story today are the temperatures. We dropped from near 70 degrees early this morning into the 40s with the passage of the front. Gusty north winds will continue today at 15-20 mph. We likely will not get out of the 40s the remainder of the day. Some areas may not get out of the 30s on Saturday. Temperatures are expected to stay well above freezing, so winter precip. is not expected right now.

 8:45 a.m. - A Tarrant County Sheriff's Office deputy was found safe after being swept away in high water early Friday morning. The woman stranded in the vehicle had still not been rescued. 
 
 The rain Thursday and Friday morning made 2015 the wettest year on record for the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

 Scores of people were rescued from flash flooding in central Texas early Friday, as emergency responders throughout the state struggled to cope with another round of storms during the wettest May on record. 
 
 In Dallas alone, more than 200 people — all believed to be in cars — were rescued from flooding in the city overnight, according to the Dallas Office of Emergency Management. Nearly 7 inches of rain fell on the city, but there were no immediate reports of injuries or deaths, assistant emergency management coordinator Kevin Oden told NBC News.

 Waterlogged highways and roads around Dallas became parking lots through the morning for drivers trying to get to work. The local Red Cross delivered Girl Scout Cookies and water to stranded drivers, reported NBC Dallas-Fort Worth. 
 
 Officials have been closely watching rising rivers and creeks in Texas after heavy rains last weekend. At least 27 people have died and 13 went missing in flooding across the state this week. Another victim was identified Friday as Jack Howard Alter, 87, who disappeared in Houston following an attempted water rescue by emergency responders. 
 
 The latest flooding alerts have been widespread, extending nearly 800 miles from southern Texas to central Missouri, according to The Weather Channel. 
 
 Tarik Hawkins, a 30-year-old who works for a Dallas freight company, said he became stranded while trying to drive to work.

 Speaking to NBC News from the side of the road, Hawkins said it had taken him two hours to drive about a mile and described the situation on the road as "very chaotic." 
 
 He added: "It's extremely dangerous out there. I drive a Mustang and in some areas the water has been coming up to the hood. The people who have tried to drive through have become stuck, so there are tow trucks and fire trucks rescuing people. 
 
 "I've never seen anything like this before. I have seen some severe weather, but this extremely dangerous."

 Tow-truck driver Robert Levtzow, was stranded on a flooded Dallas street after responding to a police call. 
 
 "I was trying to put in reverse to get out and it died off and the water started rising immediately," he told The Weather Channel. "I was scared, didn’t know really what to do [so] I called my wife immediately." 
 
 Israel Ramos, 32, a tower inspector at a communications company in Dallas, said there was 3 inches of water inside his home and the street outside resembled "a river." 
 
 He said his neighbor called the police after seeing an SUV floating down the street with a person trapped inside. "They had to be rescued by the fire department," he said. 
 
 Officials in Johnson County, about 54 miles south of Dallas, said they had evacuated about 12 people caught in flooding overnight — including some rescued from "homes inundated with water." 
 
 Other incidents involved vehicles and authorities instructed residents to stay off the roads for their own safety. 
 
 Johnson County emergency management coordinator Jamie Moore told NBC News that 45 roads had been closed in the area by 3:30 a.m. local time (4:30 a.m. ET). About an hour earlier, his agency tweeted that "rescue requests continue to flow in."

 In the Austin suburb of Volente, emergency workers recovered a houseboat with 16 people aboard that went adrift in the record floodwaters. There were no injuries, fire officials said. 
 
 Flood warnings were issued for 21 communities and flash flood warnings for six, including western Dallas, according to NBC Dallas Fort-Worth. Hail, tornadoes and thunderstorms also remained a possibility. 
 
 About 6,700 people in Dallas County were without power as of 10 a.m. local time, with another 1,000 customers in the dark in Collin County, 1,600 in Tarrant County and 181 in Denton County.

 The hardest-hit area on Thursday night was the corridor running from Laredo on the border with Mexico up through Dallas and over into Oklahoma City, according to The Weather Channel's Michael Palmer. 
 
 Palmer added that the past month had been the wettest May since records began in the late 1800s.

 More than 100 flights were canceled or delayed going in and out of Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport on Friday, according to FlightAware.com. 
 
 Dallas officials warned commuters to be extremely cautious while driving. 
 
 "If you see water on the roadway even if you think it is 1 inch don’t attempt to drive through it ... if there are barricades up on the road, they're there for a reason," Oden told NBC News.
– Deadly weather hit the central US at the beginning of the holiday weekend, with at least six people reported dead across multiple states as of Friday morning. WFAA reports four fatalities due to heavy flooding in north Texas. One body was pulled from a submerged Hyundai after the driver apparently tried to drive across a flooded street, the Dallas Morning News reports. The other victims were also caught in the floods while in vehicles. Meanwhile, two people were killed in traffic accidents credited to freezing rain and high winds in Kansas on Thursday, according to the AP. The AP reports the weather is only expected to get worse as the weekend goes on. Travelers are being warned to stay off the roads because of continued flooding in north Texas. An ice storm warning has been issued for Oklahoma through Saturday. And Arkansas is looking at potential flooding into Sunday. More than 4 inches of rain fell overnight in north Texas, bringing the yearly total at the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport to 55.23 inches—nearly 2 inches more than the previous record in 1991. A sheriff's deputy in Texas was swept away while trying to help a stranded motorist and found two hours later clinging to a tree, according to the Morning News.
