Storm-ravaged central US braces for more tornadoes, flooding into Tuesday
It will be no rest for the weary across the central United States as lives and property will continue to be threatened by severe weather and flooding this Memorial Day holiday weekend and into Tuesday.
"The overall weather pattern that has been in place across the U.S. will continue early this week, which will bring more rounds of severe weather to the Plains," according to AccuWeather Meteorologist Brett Rathbun.
Sunday started with flooding downpours spreading from southeastern Kansas to southwestern Missouri.
"The main focus of thunderstorms later Sunday into Sunday night will set up from western Texas into the central Plains," Rathbun stated. "The risk may also expand into parts of South Dakota, Wyoming and Montana, which have not received much in the way of severe weather over the past week."

I'm seeing more purple dots (major flooding) every few days.
Current status (entire US):
56 Gauges: Major Flooding
110 Gauges: Moderate Flooding
217 Gauges: Minor Flooding
248 Gauges: Near Flood Stage
5204 Gauges: No Flooding
2580 Flood Category Not Defined
41 At or Below Low Water Threshold
517 Gauges: Observations Are Not Current
83 Gauges: Out of Service
It's interesting to explore these gauge maps but also disheartening to remember that every gauge chart showing in red or purple probably means a lot of human misery.
