Over 17 million residents in the U.S. are under flood alerts as Potential Tropical Cyclone One nears the Gulf Coast, with predictions of it developing into Tropical Storm Arthur. The National Hurricane Center has issued tropical storm warnings from southeast Texas to southwestern Louisiana, while NOAA has raised concerns about a significant risk of excessive rainfall. Flooded roads and stranded cars have already been reported in Houston, San Antonio, and Waco. A Level 3-of-4 flash flood risk is in effect for regions of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida as meteorologists keep a close eye on Arthur's anticipated intensification before it makes landfall.
