Forecasters are warning of flash flooding from East Texas to Mississippi this week. The Weather Prediction Center says another six inches of additional rainfall is expected in the saturated South, where recent downpours have caused rivers to overflow their banks in Texas and Louisiana. Forecasters say the worst flood threat will be Thursday, when more heavy rain will occur north of Houston, across central Louisiana and into western Mississippi.
