Tropical Depression Bill Lashes Texas With Heavy Rain

Tropical Depression Bill will drift across part of the southern Plains with torrential rainfall and renewed concerns for major flooding before moving toward the Midwest late this week.

The eye of Bill made landfall over Matagorda Island, Texas, during Tuesday midday as a tropical storm.

Bill will slowly track northward over Texas on Wednesday and across Oklahoma during Wednesday night and Thursday.

According to AccuWeather Hurricane Expert Dan Kottlowski, "The main concerns have been and will continue to be the potential for heavy rainfall and major flooding."

Impacts to Continue Inland

Typically tropical systems weaken rapidly when making landfall due to dry air choking off the moisture source needed to maintain intensity. However, the recent heavy rain and waterlogged landscape will cause this storm to weaken slowly.

The combination of heavy rain and gusty winds can bring down tree limbs and cause sporadic power outages.

"Rainfall will result in significant flooding across central and eastern Texas and into southern Oklahoma through Wednesday night," AccuWeather Meteorologist Chyna Glenn said.

This storm will continue to funnel copious amounts of moisture into a zone that had torrential rainfall in May. Flooding from that rainfall continues along some of the rivers in parts of Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas and Oklahoma. A new surge of high water is likely to develop and move downstream along the rivers in these areas through the weekend.

The heaviest rain and hence the greatest risk of flooding into Thursday will be focused on the upper Texas coast, central and northeastern Texas and central and eastern Oklahoma. Many of these locations may receive double-digit rainfall this week, on top of 1-2 feet of rain that hit during May.

Motorists and pedestrians in the Dallas/Fort Worth metro area can expect a windswept rain with localized flooding into Wednesday evening as the core of Bill moves through.

As the main batch of windswept rain pushes across north-central Texas and into Oklahoma, repeating showers and thunderstorms in spiral bands originating from the Gulf of Mexico, southeast of the storm, will lead to localized excessive rainfall and flooding. This zone will stretch from the middle and upper Texas coast to northeastern Texas and includes the Houston, Victoria, Huntsville and Lufkin areas into Wednesday night before dissolving.

An arm of rainfall averaging 3-6 inches will extend as far to the north as southern Missouri. Locally heavier amounts are possible.

The heavy rainfall will not stop over the southern Plains and the middle Mississippi Valley. Rain heavy enough to cause flooding will be funneled into part of the Midwest and the East.

Makes me sick to have watched this happen over and over again for two years.

Forecast is saying 10 more inches of rain. How sad.

This frequency never ends nicely, yep maybe it was the defiance of a central bank. FEMA is there because of the recent flood and now they can arrive in mass. I suspect that they will call this man made climate change.

Something happened a couple years ago that rattled my cage. A Freedom Flotilla was set to leave Turkey with a navy escort by the Turkish navy after a delay because of sabotage of the ships. Two days before they were ready to leave a devastating earthquake hit a province and the Flotilla left un protected and in my opinion they got a warning verbally and the quake was a confirmation.

And, what a surprise (not), it's hitting Texas. Didn't they just take back a billion of their gold, or something? Bad Texans. Must be punished. Not playing the NWO game of roll over a barrel so we can.... well, you know.
