Storm patterns will drive a surplus of rain into Texas. The state is now back on high alert for flash flooding. After Texas' extreme flooding last week, Houston, Beaumont, and Galveston should expect more than five inches of rain per the 50 percent prediction. HIGH RAINFALL Flash floods are often a result of proportionally high rainfall in areas with little time in between, according to CNN. Those hit with Labor Day weekend rain like Texas and the eastern coasts should expect cooler temperatures to follow.  It comes after the hurricane season has had its quietest start for 30 years, according to experts. There have been no named storms since July 3, and August could be on track for none at all, defying pre-season forecasts.
