The NOAA Weather Prediction Center has issued a Moderate Risk warning for significant rainfall impacting areas from the Gulf Coast of Texas to the Lower Mississippi Valley. Meteorologists caution that moisture levels in the atmosphere are soaring to the 90th percentile in certain locations, heightening the risk of severe flash flooding. With soils already saturated in the Gulf South, increased runoff is anticipated, while several storm systems may bring continuous heavy rainfall until Saturday. The greatest risk of flooding is posed to Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas, Tennessee, Georgia, and Florida as river levels rise and inundation spreads.
