The process of harvesting cotton is in full swing across portions of the state, according to AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Tyler Roys. While the bulk of the growing season is coming to an end across Texas, this upcoming week is still a vulnerable time for one major crop. This amount of rainfall can lead to significant flooding issues, especially in urban locations or places that have recently been pounded by severe weather. The Dallas-Fort Worth area has received about 1.35 inches of rain so far in October, or about 31% of the 4.37 inches that is normal for the month, according to Gilbert. One major population center forecast to fall in the bull's-eye of the heaviest rain is the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. Some locations could record rainfall totals as high as 4-8 inches (100-200 mm) spanning from central to northeastern Texas into Friday. "Large portions of both central and eastern Texas are set for a soaking later this week as Pamela crosses through the state, likely as a tropical rainstorm," AccuWeather Meteorologist Mary Gilbert said. Widespread rain will continue across central Mexico and spread into portions of Texas by late week. Pamela could create flooding issues in TexasĮven as the storm becomes less potent, Pamela will remain a concern. Other storms that have made landfall in Mexico this tropical season include Tropical Storm Dolores and hurricanes Nora and Olaf.
In August, Grace rapidly intensified into a Category 3 (maximum sustained winds of 111 mph) storm right before landfall in eastern Mexico after previously journeying through the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico.
