Several historic and deadly flash flooding events have occurred in the U.S. just within the month of July alone. Experts talk about what factors are increasing the risks.

A tropical disturbance that made its way from Florida is now over the northern Gulf and is expected to bring heavy rain and flash flooding to the region on Thursday and Friday. The NOAA's National Hurricane Center (NHC) reported Thursday that the associated shower and thunderstorm activity remained disorganized and located mainly to the west and southwest of the center.
