"2024 Forecasts Predict Persistent Rain and Flood Risks Across Southern US"

The Gulf Coast states are facing a significant flood threat as a series of low-pressure systems are expected to bring heavy rain from Texas to Florida in early 2024. While the rain may provide some relief to drought-stricken areas, the potential for flash flooding is high due to the rapid accumulation of rainfall on dry soil. Cities like Houston, Galveston, and New Orleans are forecasted to receive up to 2 inches of rain, with the risk of flooding extending through Thursday from southwest Louisiana to Southwest Florida.
