Parts of Texas have barely had time to recover from the last round of flooding rains, but the National Weather Service is warning that there's more to come this week.

The National Weather Service says a tropical system that is gathering steam in the Gulf of Mexico will bring anywhere from 5 to 10 inches of rain to southeast Texas. Houston, which suffered major flooding late last month, is smack in the middle of that forecast.

In May, Texas set the record for wettest single month. The state recorded 8.81 inches of rain, crushing the previous record of 6.66 inches.

Weather.com says this tropical disturbance is expected to move north and keep bringing rain through North Texas and Oklahoma, which has also seen quite a bit of rain and flooding.

"" HOUSTON - A system over the Gulf
of Mexico has been upgraded and
named Tropical Storm Bill.
Most recent tracks say the storm
has 50 mph winds taking it closer
to Freeport on Tuesday.
Heavy rainfall will be the biggest
issue for southeast Texas for the
next 2-3 days. Six to eight inches
is likely for many areas.
The low is expected to move
toward the northwest at about 12
mph, reaching the Texas coast on
Tuesday. Until a center actually
forms in the Gulf, there is much
uncertainty where landfall of the
center of the low might be.
Computer model forecasts from
Sunday morning showcased the
most likely landfall in the vicinity
of Matagorda Bay.
High pressure over the eastern
Gulf and the forecast for low end
tropical storm winds means that
most of the adverse weather will
be to the east of where the center
makes landfall. Periods of very
heavy rain from the storm should
occur late Monday through
Tuesday as the system crosses
the coast. 4 to 7 inches of rain is
expected across much of the
Southeast Texas area from this
disturbance with a few spots
getting in excess of 10 inches.
As the system moves inland, the
coast will have a good chance of
more heavy rain on Wednesday.
Anticipate that there will be
significant flooding where the
heaviest rain occurs.
Based on wind forecasts of up to
tropical storm intensity, coastal
communities could see rises of
tides by one to two feet and minor
beach erosion from rough waves.
On Monday, coastal Galveston
County issued a voluntary
evacuation for the Bolivar
Peninsula, which sits in the
Galveston Bay. Potential rainfall
could flood roads on the
peninsula, making it harder to
leave later, or for emergency
responders to reach them.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott also
announced on Monday that a
special operations center is on
alert as the tropical system
develops.
"Any additional rainfall will
exacerbate already saturated
grounds, which could quickly lead
to dangerous flash flooding and
extended river flooding," he said
in a statement.""
