Flash flood warnings were in effect for Dallas on Saturday morning, after heavy rain overnight flooded streets and other parts of the city.
This latest rainfall added to the already saturated Texan city, unleashing flooding that once again brought portions of the Dallas/Fort Worth area to a standstill.
The Federal Aviation Administration temporarily stopped flights in and out of two Dallas airports, Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport -- the second largest in the United States -- and Dallas Love Field, due to heavy storms.

By 7:30 a.m., local time, normal operations had resumed at the airports, The Dallas Morning News reported.
Residents in areas affected by the flooding were issued reverse 911 calls and texts on Friday night to warn those at risk of flooding. Photos from Dallas residents showed the severity of the flooding, which the city woke up to on Saturday.

The bodies of two flood victims were found in Dallas on Friday, according to local reports.
Dallas police spokesman Juan Fernandez said Saturday that officers found a man, who hasn't been identified, floating in the water Friday.
Fernandez said the body has been sent to the county medical examiner's office to determine the official cause of death.
The other Dallas-area death discovered Friday was a man who drowned in his truck after it was swept into a culvert in the suburb of Mesquite.

Before Saturday, Dallas already had its wettest May on record, and is set to break the record for the wettest month of any month on record in the city.
Trinity River in Dallas had already burst its banks, and reached its highest levels in decades on Friday.

But Dallas isn't the only city to be hard hit by the heavy rainfall drenching Texas this week. According to the National Weather Service, statewide rainfall in May amounted to at least 35 trillion gallons.
On Friday, U.S. President Barack Obama signed a disaster declaration for Texas due to the flooding, freeing up federal funds for emergency aid.
Saturday also brought more flash flood warnings for San Marcos and Wimberley in central Texas, the scene of deadly flash flooding the previous weekend that left at least six dead and an additional six people missing. Those taking part in search and rescue efforts in Wimberley were forced to take shelter due to the new storm.
