Dallas Weather: May 2 early morning forecast

FOX 4 Weather Meteorologist Evan Andrews says the overnight rain will move east of the metroplex by 9 a.m. But there are more rain chances in the forecast.

Flooding forced two rural school districts to close on Thursday.

Mexia and Teague ISDs initially said they would start late, but now say the flooding is just too bad and they will be closed today.

Radar estimates show areas near those two cities, which are about 90 miles southeast of Dallas, got around 10 inches of rain.

The Mexia Police Department posted pictures of several stalled vehicles in high water on Wednesday night.

They asked anyone who did not have to drive to stay at home.
