The end of the week is expected to bring heavy rainfall and the potential for localized flooding across the south-central U.S.
While Texas and Louisiana are projected to experience the most significant impacts, these downpours are likely to affect up to six states starting on Thursday and continuing through late Friday.
Texas and Louisiana Targeted for Heavy Rainfall
Some parts of the south-central U.S. are set to receive over a month's worth of rain heading into the weekend. While this will provide some relief to the drought-stricken region, it also elevates the risk of hazardous flooding.
Southern and eastern Texas and extending into Louisiana will be the primary zone for impact. Currently, this area is grappling with a severe drought, as indicated by the U.S. Drought Monitor.
