“A major storm continues to impact the Central U.S. on
Sunday morning with heavy snow, torrential rain and severe weather. Over 6
inches of rain has been reported in southern Missouri and over 4 inches of rain
has been reported in Kansas and Nebraska, with all three states seeing flooding
due to the storm. More heavy rain is expected in parts of the Central Plains,
from Nebraska to Kansas, during the day today as well which could result in
some flash flooding.”
Parts
of Midwest and Southeast could see severe weather by mid-week
“ST. LOUIS– The western parts of the St. Louis metro area
could see some isolated severe weather later Monday with another storm system
bringing a risk to southern Missouri mid-week. The storm system that brought a
big snowfall to Colorado and rain to St. Louis over the weekend is still making
its way east. Monday afternoon it will stir up the atmosphere and bringing
warmer temperatures to areas like Sullivan and Festus. The warmer air will also
bring a shift in the wind pattern around 2 P.M. The temperature difference will
create a spin in the atmosphere and could lead to isolated thunderstorms, hail,
strong winds, and possibly a few small tornadoes. This is primarily along the
Missouri River and I-70 corridor.”
Millions
are under winter storm advisories as blizzards and heavy rain move across the
US
“Flood alerts are also a big concern for this system in the Midwest. With some rivers nearing flood stage, the anticipated heavy rain could take the rivers to dangerous levels. Flooding is also a threat on Sunday, particularly across portions of Missouri, Kansas and Illinois. Other states -- such as Arkansas, Oklahoma, Kentucky and Indiana -- also could see flooding, especially if multiple storms pass over the same locations, according to forecasts. Widespread rainfall totals through Sunday are expected to be in the 2- to 4-inch range, but some isolated spots could exceed 6 inches.”
