According to the United States Drought Monitor National Drought Summary from June 23, Tropical Storm Arthur briefly formed near the middle Texas coast last week before “wobbling” inland near Galveston.
However, a precursor low-pressure system delivered heavy rain in parts of southern Texas, followed by a post-tropical deluge from the central Gulf Coast region into the lower Southeast. Totals of 4-8 inches or more were common across the Deep South.
