Flooding Risk Persists as Storms Sweep Midwest to Mid-Atlantic
A prolonged stretch of severe weather continues to impact regions from the Midwest to the mid-Atlantic, with thunderstorms, heavy rain, and flash flooding posing significant risks. The National Weather Service has issued flood watches for areas including West Virginia, southeast Ohio, and northeast Kentucky through Monday evening. Indiana remains particularly affected, with floodwaters receding in some areas but a flood warning still active in Randolph County. Since August 11, storms have caused widespread damage, including washed-out roads, power outages, and fatalities. A cold front is expected to bring relief by sweeping the weather system off the East Coast on Tuesday. Source time: Mon, 17 Aug 2026 14:10:18 GMT.
