Texas To North Carolina Facing Flood Threat Due To Frequent Downpours

Locations that are particularly at risk of flooding are those that have been recently inundated with heavy rain. Since mid-March, Atlanta has reported 3.74 inches of rain, 133% of its historical average during that time frame. In the same time period, Jackson, Mississippi, reported 4.21 inches of rain, 111% of the historical average. ACCUWEATHER

Flooding and severe thunderstorms, two common springtime weather risks, are expected in the storm-weary area of the southern United States this week. AccuWeather meteorologists say that some locations could receive as much as half a foot of rain.

“A stalled front, as well as some pieces of atmospheric energy moving along the front, will be the trigger for the persistent downpours,” said AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Tyler Roys.
