'Strong to severe storms will be possible today,' the National Weather Service (NWS) has warned.
After days of deadly weather in the Plains and Midwest, meteorologists have warned that severe thunderstorms and flash flooding are expected to continue today.
“Severe thunderstorms and flash flooding will again be possible from the Southern Plains into the Midwest on Friday. Temperatures across much of the East to the south of New England will run above normal where they will hold into the Memorial Day weekend,” it added. Looking ahead, another advisory explained: “A corridor of enhanced rainfall along with severe weather is likely from the Texas Panhandle to northern Illinois over the next couple of days.
Missouri Governor Mike Parson confirmed yesterday that three people had died as a result of the conditions and said others were injured or trapped inside their homes. President Donald Trump later replied on Twitter, describing the citizens of the state as “strong and resilient.”
