* AT 439 PM CST NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE METEOROLOGISTS DETECTED A 
LINE OF STORMS PRODUCING HEAVY RAINFALL OVER WESTERN DALLAS AND 
ELLIS COUNTIES.  INDIVIDUAL STORMS WITHIN THIS LINE ARE MOVING NORTH 
NORTHEAST AT 55 MPH...HOWEVER THE EASTWARD PROGRESSION OF THE LINE 
ITSELF IS MUCH SLOWER...ALLOWING FOR TRAINING OF STORMS ALONG THIS 
NORTH-SOUTH ORIENTED LINE.  HEAVY RAIN WILL LEAD TO LOCALIZED 
FLOODING PROBLEMS WHICH WILL CREATE TRAVEL PROBLEMS...ESPECIALLY 
ACROSS DALLAS COUNTY DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC.  THESE STORMS ARE 
EXPECTED TO MOVE EAST OUT OF THE ADVISORY AREA BY 630 PM CST.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

EXCESSIVE RUNOFF FROM THIS STORM WILL CAUSE FLOODING OF SMALL CREEKS
AND STREAMS...URBAN AREAS...HIGHWAYS...STREETS AND UNDERPASSES AS
WELL AS OTHER DRAINAGE AREAS AND LOW LYING SPOTS.

BE ESPECIALLY CAUTIOUS AT NIGHT WHEN IT IS HARDER TO RECOGNIZE THE
DANGERS OF WATER COVERING THE ROAD. DO NOT DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE INTO
AREAS WHERE THE WATER COVERS THE ROADWAY. THE WATER DEPTH MAY BE TOO
GREAT TO ALLOW YOUR CAR TO CROSS SAFELY. TURN AROUND...DONT DROWN.
