later on this afternoon especially in areas like southwestern kansas and southwestern oklahoma. the main action has been in and around the dallas area where they have seen very heavy rain a lot of lightning. very stormy morning and just south and west of oklahoma city. this batch of morning storms is saving us from a worse round later on this afternoon. we are missing the sunshine here and that is one key component into some of the strong storms. for now we have damaging winds and large hail. flash flood. these folks have seen ten inches of rain. >> we appreciate the heads up. >> let's go to wichita falls, texas. i understand that the weather is cooperating somewhat and that the temperature has dropped a little bit. that is good news, yeah? >> reporter: we are getting good news out of this rain. the temperature drops means the threat for tornadoes later today is also dropping. so a bit of a bright spot on a very gloomy and wet day.
