text: Updated by Julie Fancher at 7:58 p.m.: Revised to update suspect information in fatal crash. 
   
   Two children were killed after the car they were riding in was hit by a speeding driver, officials said. 
   
   Officials said around 1:20 p.m., 23-year-old Kelvin Walker was driving a Range Rover SUV at a high rate of speed along the eastbound lanes of U.S. Highway 175 near Pine Street, in South Dallas, when he struck a Honda sedan carrying a family of five from behind. 
   
   Raul Reyna, a spokesman for the Dallas County Sheriff’s Department, said two of the children in the sedan, a 12 or 13-year-old boy and a 13-month-old baby, were ejected from the vehicle. The 12-year-old boy died at the scene and the baby was taken to Children’s Medical Center of Dallas, but later died. 
   
   Neither of the children were identified. 
   
   Reyna said the children’s mother and father and another child were treated for minor cuts and bruises. 
   
   Walker was taken to a local hospital, but later transported to the Dallas County Jail. Officials were investigating if any other factors, including alcohol and slick roads, played a role in the crash. 
   
   Walker, who has been convicted of theft and burglary in Dallas County, faces a charge of vehicular manslaughter. He is being held in the Dallas County Jail. Bail had not been set as of late Friday. 
   
   Three other people were reported dead Friday morning after flooding in North Texas. 
   
   Garland firefighters found Benjamin Taylor Floyd, 29, dead inside a submerged ​Hyundai Elantra early Friday. It appears he tried to drive through high water on Campbell Road near Brand Road, said Garland fire spokesman Merrill Balanciere. 
   
   Floyd, a Wylie resident, would have turned 30 next week, according to the Dallas County medical examiner’s office. 
   
   It wasn’t clear how long the car had been under water. A search and rescue team was called to the scene​ about 8:30 a.m., but had to wait for the water​ level​ to ​decrease before checking on the car. 
   
   In Johnson County, authorities pulled a body out of a vehicle that was swept away overnight. About 11:40 a.m., authorities said they found another body near Mansfield but didn’t release any other details. 
   
   And in Burleson, authorities were still looking for the 70-year-old driver of a submerged vehicle. Around 1 a.m., a Tarrant County sheriff’s deputy was swept away during a high water rescue in Burleson. 
   
   Deputy Krystal Salazar stopped in the 11600 block of Oak Grove Road to help a stranded motorist, who was stuck in about 5 feet of water. Salazar, a bystander trying to help and the motorist were both swept away when the deputy tried to wade over. 
   
   Salazar was found about two hours later clinging to a tree. She was transported to the hospital as a precaution. The female motorist had not been rescued from her vehicle, which was submerged. 
   
   Fort Worth fire officials said that “rescue efforts have moved to a recovery stage.” 
   
   Most of the Dallas-Fort Worth area remains under a flash flood watch or warning Friday morning, with rain expected to continue throughout the day. 
   
   Road closures have been reported throughout the area due to flooding. Notably for those going out Black Friday shopping, FM 2499 near Grapevine Mills Mall in Flower Mound is closed. Police closed the road around 3 a.m. One northbound lane is open, but all southbound lanes remain closed between Enterprise Drive and Lakeside Parkway. 
   
   Six Flags Over Texas in Arlington has also closed today due to flooding. 
   
   Dallas Fire-Rescue has responded to 27 water rescues in which cars had stalled out in high water since midnight and 83 car crashes. No major injuries have been reported. 
   
   Authorities are urging drivers to avoid high water on the roadways. They also say people should never drive around police barricades.

   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.

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.

   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.

   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.

target: – 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.
