Rain to drench several parts of US

There’s going to be more rain for parts of the South and Southeast again on Tuesday, including places that have already been inundated in recent weeks. Parts of Texas that have seen flooding from Hurricane Beryl will continue to see heavy rain from a pesky front that just won’t leave. Several inches of precipitation will be possible throughout parts of Southeast Texas and central Louisiana.

A similar forecast will be in store for parts of the Northeast. The rounds of heavy precipitation and thunderstorms are due to a strengthening Bermuda High parked off the East Coast in the Atlantic Ocean.

The Southwest could see a few inches of rain as monsoonal moisture continues to create soggy conditions for places like Arizona and New Mexico. And while rain would normally be great for such dry areas, one wildfire burn scar area has had its fair share. In the last month, 19 Flash Flood Emergencies were issued for the area near Ruidoso, New Mexico, leading to multiple water rescues and evacuations. 

Fast-growing California wildfires destroy homes

Two large wildfires ignited in Riverside County, California, on Sunday. Residents fled as flames quickly spread, destroying three homes and threatening more than 1,000 others.
