When Will the US See This Week’s Biggest Flood Threat?

A dangerous, multiday flood threat is spreading from the Southwest into the Southern Plains and Midwest this week as tropical moisture from Hurricane Polo and the remnants of Odalys move north. Tuesday the threat expands into the Texas and Oklahoma Panhandles. By Wednesday and Thursday, rain spreads across Texas, Oklahoma and into the Midwest. Up to 20 states could see impacts, with some areas facing 6 to 8+ inches of rain through Friday.

Flood Threat Looms Over Texas Through Friday

Flood Threat Looms Over Texas Through Friday

A significant flood threat is developing across Texas and parts of the south-central U.S. due to the combined effects of Hurricane Polo's moisture and a trough of low pressure moving across the West. The Weather Prediction Center has issued a Moderate Risk for flash flooding, particularly along the I-35 corridor, from Wednesday through Friday. Rainfall totals are expected to reach 3-5 inches (76-127 mm) in central Texas and Oklahoma, with isolated areas potentially receiving up to 6-8 inches (152-203 mm). The region's ongoing exceptional drought conditions may exacerbate flooding risks as dry, hardened ground struggles to absorb the heavy rainfall. The system is expected to bring scattered storms starting Monday, with more widespread and intense rainfall developing midweek.

A major flood threat is developing across the Southwest, Plains and South Central states as moisture left behind by Pacific hurricanes Odalys and Polo combines with a storm system moving in from the West.

Polo’s Moisture Could Bring Flooding Across the Southwest

Polo’s Moisture Could Bring Flooding Across the Southwest

Moisture from Hurricane Polo is expected to fuel rounds of heavy rain and thunderstorms across the Southwest and Plains this week. Parts of Texas and New Mexico could see 4–8 inches of rain from Monday through Friday, with locally higher totals potentially reaching 18 inches. The rain could provide drought relief across parts of Texas, Kansas, Nebraska and Colorado, but saturated ground and steep terrain raise the risk of dangerous flash flooding. Rain will spread eastward later in the week, reaching parts of the Midwest.
