Heavy rain, small hail continue to be the main threats. No warnings out at this time. No rotation showing in radar. ??????????????????- Storms are rolling over eastern Denton and Tarrant counties heading into Dallas and Collin. These storms are moving slowly east at 10mph and dropping heavy rain and perhaps even pea-size hail. There is a FLOOD ADVISORY in effect for Tarrant and Denton Counties until 3:30pm to warn residents of Urban and Small Stream flooding. The storms continue to be NON-SEVERE. The strongest cell right now is moving over Irving heading toward downtown Dallas and will effect Love Field. I?ll be watching areas just south of metroplex, over Johnson and Ellis Counties for possible severe weather forming later this afternoon along a stalled frontal boundary.
