Heavy rain threatens flash flooding across 11 states

More than 30 million Americans face a significant threat of dangerous flash flooding across 11 states, including the Midwest, Ohio Valley, and Appalachians, from this weekend into next week. The flooding is attributed to a tropical rainstorm, which, though not expected to become a named storm, will bring substantial moisture northward from the Gulf Coast. Forecasts predict 2 to 4 inches of rain from Iowa to the Appalachians, with some localized areas potentially receiving as much as 13 inches, leading to pockets of severe flash flooding. This weather event follows recent major flooding in Louisiana, Mississippi, New Jersey, and deadly flash floods in Texas, contributing to a year when flash flood reports are 70 percent above the historical average. Experts link the increased frequency of extreme rainfall and flooding events, including '1,000-year floods,' to human-caused climate change, as a warmer atmosphere can hold more moisture.
