Heavy Rain May Lead to Localized Flash Flooding Across Parts of the Central and Eastern United States
Periods of heavy rain and thunderstorms will continue today across portions of the northern Plains and from the Mid-Mississippi Valley eastward into the southern Appalachians, creating a risk of localized flash flooding. Some areas could experience repeated rounds of thunderstorms that move over the same locations, increasing the chance for rapid rises on small streams, flooded roads, and poor drainage flooding, especially where heavy rain has fallen recently. Additional locally heavy downpours are also possible across parts of the Mid-Atlantic, although the exact location of the greatest flood threat remains uncertain. Across the northern Plains, thunderstorms developing this afternoon and evening may also produce heavy rainfall before gradually moving eastward overnight. Anyone in flood-prone areas should remain alert for changing weather conditions.
