Severe Thunderstorms Threaten Central US, Bringing Flash Flooding And Damaging Winds

The drought has been a problem since early in the winter. While most levels of drought have shrunk in size since the start of the spring, there remain some locations of the central Plains that are still in need of non-flooding rainfall, according to the United States Drought Monitor. ACCUWEATHER.

While the summer of 2023 has been a season of smoke for parts of the northern United States, it has been a season with many thunderstorms for much of the Plains and Midwest. AccuWeather meteorologists believe that more rounds of severe weather will affect the Central states in the coming days.

“The weather pattern has been ripe for large complexes of thunderstorms to form and travel dozens to hundreds of miles over the central region of the U.S. This is typically how much of the Plains and Mississippi Valley zones receive rainfall in the summer. However, there have been numerous complexes of storms this summer and more are on the way,” said AccuWeather.
