Houston, Texas – Heavy rainfall and cooler-than-normal temperatures will impact daily travel across the South starting this weekend, with localized flooding possible by early next week.
According to the National Weather Service, Texas and the Gulf Coast carry a 60–80% probability of above-normal precipitation, while parts of southern Texas trend below normal in temperature.
Houston, Dallas, and Austin could see multiple rounds of rain, with isolated totals reaching several inches. Low-lying roads and underpasses may flood quickly during intense downpours.
New Orleans and Baton Rouge face similar risks, while Florida cities including Miami and Tampa remain in a wetter-than-normal pattern with frequent showers.
Atlanta and surrounding areas may see steady rainfall affecting commutes and outdoor plans.
Residents should avoid driving through flooded roadways, charge devices in case of outages, and monitor local alerts.
