A slow moving weather system produced very heavy rain across much of North Texas Tuesday and Wednesday. A Flash Flood Watch was allowed to expire Wednesday night.

Rainfall totals were impressive Tuesday with some areas of Collin County picking up more than 7 inches of rain. A few areas west of Dallas-Fort Worth picked up over 4 inches of rain overnight.

Dramatic video and pictures showed cars submerged in feet of water inside Parking Garage B at Dallas Love Field Wednesday morning, where more than 3 inches of rain fell overnight.

Dozens of cars parked at the Dallas Love Field Airport garage are flooded due to heavy rain.

High water was reported on several area roads. NBC 5 cameras captured people stranded in floodwater along the Interstate 35E Frontage Road near Walnut Hill Lane in Dallas.

The rain will diminish in frequency by late Wednesday and should end completely on Thursday. In addition to the heavy rain, some thunderstorms may contain gusty winds. Dry and sunny weather is expected Friday through the weekend.

What To Do Before the Storm
Tornado and Hail Safety
Stay Safe During a Hail Storm
 
At Home?
  • Head indoors immediately
  • If time allows, close all drapes, blinds or shades to prevent broken glass from entering your home.
  • Stay away from windows and skylights (any exterior glass) and head to a safe location inside your home, ideally only with interior walls.
Outdoors?
  • Cover your head and seek shelter indoors immediately.
  • If you are trapped outside, get to a low-lying area and try to protect your head. Use clothing if it's all you have.
Driving?
  • Stay inside your vehicle.
  • Slow down or pull over and stop at a safe location. DO NOT stop under a highway overpass. You may be protecting your vehicle, but you could be forcing other people to stop behind you.
  • Turn your back to windows or cover yourself with a blanket, coat or spare clothing to protect yourself from breaking glass.
  • If you have a sunroof, try to find something to protect your head.
