Texas, Oklahoma Flood Threat, Despite Ongoing Drought, To Last Through Mother’s Day
There is a chance that in some parts of Texas and Oklahoma there could be an extreme drought. There has already been some flooding in Texas but has not reached Houston metro, Beaumont and in Rusk Country. In the southern part of Texas looking at the map, there could be locally heavy rain which will happen early next week. According to the National Weather Service, they have issued flood watches for this heavy rain threat in parts of the northern area, central and southern Texas. The weather team expects the heaviest rainfall totals from the lower Rio Grande Valley into central and northwestern Texas and parts of southern Oklahoma. Nobody knows where the rain is coming from. The culprit for this soaked scenario is a clogged atmosphere. Low pressure moves very slowly westward for the desert southwest to the west coast.
