Another Flood Threat Might Be Brewing for the South-Central States

One of the hardest hit areas was Corsicana, Texas, which saw more than 20 inches of rain late last week into the weekend. With the recent rains, Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport has now seen 46.64 inches of rain in 2015, making it the seventh wettest year on record there.

A southward dip in the jet stream will move from the West into the southern Plains late this week into the weekend.

As the storm system moves east, heavy rain may once again impact parts of the southern Plains and lower Mississippi Valley Friday through this weekend, including Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Louisiana.

Depending on how this weather system evolves, we could see multiple rounds of rain across the same areas. Of course, that scenario would lead to the potential for more flooding. Conversely, if the weather system moves along progressively, that would reduce the threat of flooding.
