Joe's Blog: Rain chances percolate for some (MON-7/7)
SUMMARY: Over the holiday weekend, devastating flash floods struck Texas, leaving over 50 dead and many missing, particularly near the Guadalupe River. The floods were fueled by tropical moisture from Tropical Storm Barry and were worsened by the region’s geography and drought-hardened soils. Despite timely National Weather Service warnings, communication challenges and false alarm fatigue complicated the response. Similar heavy rains impacted parts of the Carolinas as well. Locally, rain has been sparse, with isolated storms possible through the week but with uncertain coverage. Experts emphasize improving weather education, warning systems, infrastructure, and communication to prevent future tragedies and better protect vulnerable communities.
