An end is in sight to the relentless downpours that have doused the central United States as cooler, drier air arrives by Thursday.
Dry days have been hard to come by across the Heartland as a persistent stream of moisture flowing into the region has led to round after round of heavy rainfall since late last week.
Flooding has occurred from Iowa to Texas, with even a few severe thunderstorms rumbling through this corridor and triggering tornadoes.
On Monday, heavy rain washed away a recreational vehicle park in the small town of Junction in West Texas, leaving at least four people missing, according to the Associated Press (AP). Nineteen people who were at the park have been rescued by boats and helicopters, the AP reported. Kimble County Sheriff Hilario Cantu said that “all the RVs, everything, got swept away.”
The nation’s midsection will endure two more days of stormy weather before the needed reprieve. Rain and storms will stretch across the entire middle of the nation into Tuesday night.
