Thunderstorms are expected to bring heavy rainfall and potential flash flooding to the Midwest and East Coast.

Today, the Northern and Central Plains, along with the Midwest, face the risk of flash floods and isolated severe storms. A cold front moving through the region is set to trigger significant rainfall, particularly affecting areas such as Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, and southern Michigan.

Looking ahead to Thursday, the DC–Philadelphia–NYC corridor could experience training storms, where repeated storms pass over the same area, substantially increasing the risk of flash floods. The Storm Prediction Center has identified slight risk zones extending from southeast Virginia up to southern New England, indicating an elevated threat of severe weather.

Residents in these areas are advised to stay informed about local weather updates and heed any warnings issued by local authorities. It is crucial to avoid flooded areas and take necessary precautions to ensure safety during these storms. Make sure your emergency kits are stocked and that you have a plan in place should severe weather strike. Stay tuned to your local weather forecast for the latest information.
