A large rain system moving through the central United States could lead to large scale flooding in Texas, the weather channel warns. Heavy rain in the central states that already have saturated soil (Arkansas, Tennessee, and Kentucky) could lead to flooding in the drought stricken state of Texas. These states are expected to receive 6 or more inches of rainfall that could directly affect their southern neighbor Texas. Although this rain will be good for Texas, where currently 83% of the state is being affected by an extreme drought, the heavy amounts of rain could have some negative effects. Chris Dolce, a meteorologist for the Weather Channel, stated that too much rain, too quickly, has the potential to cause heavy flooding in the drought stricken state of Texas.
