Flooding along the Gulf Coast is expected to be the dominant weather impact this week. Multiple days of heavy rainfall are forecast, with prolific rainfall rates at times. Do NOT attempt to enter or cross flooded areas or roadways. Please #TurnAroundDontDrown
Considerable Flash-and-Urban flooding is expected across southern Texas and southwestern Louisiana this week5 to 10 inches of rain or more will lead to a significant risk for flash-and-urban flooding this week across the Gulf Coast.
