The rainclouds and steady showers first seemed like a blessing when they
arrived in drought-stricken Texas earlier this spring. But near constant
rainfall in recent weeks has turned the ground into a soggy sponge, one
thats unable to absorb moisture and is increasingly prone to flooding.
.
The waterlogged landscape is partly to blame for the weather-related
destruction in Central Texas, where fierce storms and tornadoes have
dumped record amounts of rain, swelling rivers and covering roads.

The above-average rainfall and recent floods in the state were largely
fueled by a dip in the jet stream, a river of fast-moving air that cuts
across the continent and affects rainfall and thunderstorm intensity. The
trough above the western United States is clashing with Gulf Coast air,
setting off flooding in Texas and the Plains region, said Dave Schwartz, a
meteorologist with The Weather Channel in Atlanta.
.
He said severe storms like the ones ravaging Texas and Oklahoma are
expected to become more frequent and severe in the coming decades due to
global warming. As people burn more oil, coal and natural gas for fuel and
energy -- boosting greenhouse gas emissions -- the planets average surface
temperatures are projected to warm, elevating sea levels and altering
weather patterns, global climate scientists say.
.
Torrential downpours and events like this are consistent with the general
theory of global warming, Schwartz said. Given the growing threats, cities
and states have to plan for the potential for more emergency types of
events, he added.
