The South and Texas face renewed flood threat with another week of heavy rain

More than 60 million people across parts of the South and Texas will face the threat of flash flooding this week, after heavy rain soaked much of the region over the holiday weekend. Several storm systems will move across the southern U.S. and tap into more tropical moisture that will produce drenching rain. Soils are saturated across much of the South after last week's precipitation and are vulnerable to more flash flooding. However, the rain will help provide relief for a region that has been gripped by Extreme Drought conditions.
