Key Points:
- Tropical Storm Vance's moisture is expected to affect over 20 states during Halloween weekend, bringing heavy rain and flash flooding risks, with Texas facing the greatest threat.
- Texas may experience 2 to 3 inches of rain, with some areas potentially receiving 4 to 5 inches, leading to a Level 2 out of 4 flash flood threat.
- Starting Thursday, Vance's moisture will combine with a developing frontal system, causing widespread showers and thunderstorms in Texas before spreading rain across the Plains, Mississippi and Ohio Valleys, Great Lakes, and Southeast by Friday and Saturday.
- The storm system will move eastward by Sunday, bringing rain and gusty winds from the Mid-Atlantic to the Northeast, potentially disrupting Halloween plans for millions of Americans.
- The extent of flooding and severe weather will depend on the interaction between the tropical moisture and frontal system, with Texas as the primary concern early on, followed by widespread wet conditions across central and eastern U.S.
