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.
