Tropical Storm Arthur, the first named storm of the Atlantic hurricane season, weakened into a low-pressure area on Wednesday night after moving along the upper Texas coast. However, forecasters warned that its remnants could bring days of heavy rain and potentially life-threatening flooding across parts of the southeastern United States.

A tropical disturbance in the western Gulf will contribute to the risk for heavy rain and numerous flash floods across the South this week.

Officials warned there could be life-threatening flash floods along the Texas coast and eastward into central Mississippi until Thursday
