LIVE: Major Flooding Unfolds in Corsicana, Texas, Forces Road Closures

 

Residents from Texas to Louisiana should be on alert for life-threatening flooding this weekend.

The system will unleash 4-8 inches of rain across portions of Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Louisiana with the potential for some communities to receive a foot or more of rain through Sunday. Moisture from record-breaking Hurricane Patricia will contribute to the life-threatening flooding that will inundate the South Central states this weekend.

Overnight, the heaviest rain will fall from the Big Bend region of Texas to southwest Arkansas, AccuWeather Meteorologist Mike Doll said. Travel disruptions, flight delays and road closures are possible due to the heavy rainfall expected.

"Dangerous travel conditions will exist on interstates 35 and 45 overnight and drivers should not attempt to go across a flooded roadway," Doll said.
