Excessive rainfall risk for central Texas, Mississippi
The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued a Slight Risk of Excessive Rainfall for central Texas on Thursday, extending to Texas and parts of the Lower Mississippi Valley on Friday. This forecast is attributed to a frontal system expected to bring widespread showers and thunderstorms across the region. Rainfall rates in parts of east-central Texas and Louisiana could exceed 1.5 inches per hour on Friday, heightening the risk of flash flooding, particularly in urban areas with inadequate drainage. Residents are urged to closely monitor local weather reports and prepare for immediate action should flooding occur.
