Entire summer's worth of rain may fall from Texas, Oklahoma to Louisiana

The corridor from northern Texas and southern Oklahoma to central portions of Mississippi lay within a zone of unfolding heavy rain that will persist into the middle of the week. Drenching, drought-easing, deluge and dangerous are terms that AccuWeather meteorologists are continuing to use to describe the unfolding event.
An entire summer's worth of rain can pour down in a matter of days in some locations, forecasters warn.
The setup, known in the weather community as a training effect, is likely to produce torrential downpours that can repeat for multiple days. But, while the prospect of drenching rain may be good news for many, there is an ugly side to the pattern. The deadly flooding that occurred in St. Louis and in parts of Kentucky earlier this summer took place only in a matter of hours.
