DALLAS (AP) —
Emergency management officials in Texas contending with multiple storm systems are preparing for heavy rains to continue through the weekend and widespread flooding that may follow.
Rain fell steadily Friday through much of the state and is forecast to continue through at least Saturday as a storm system slowly moves eastward.
Many parts of Texas, including Dallas and Houston, could see upward of 12 inches of rain by early Saturday.
Officials are concerned the current system will be followed by the wet remnants of powerful Hurricane Patricia, which is now approaching the west coast of Mexico.
The systems will bring the most rain the state has seen since the devastating Memorial Day weekend flooding that led to at least 30 deaths.
