Lingering snow and scattered rain can unload in the Upper Midwest and Northern High Plains this midweek, according to a National Weather Service (NWS) advisory. Some parts of the US are under threat of severe weather, including in the Southern Plains and Lower Mississippi Valley.

In the South-Central US, the forecast shows that flooding risk is likely in the region due to repeated downpours, bringing travel delays and localized flooding. From Monday night to Thursday, flooding concerns can occur in Oklahoma City, Dallas, Little Rock, Jackson, Houston, New Orleans, Atlanta, and Nashville.

The advisory monitors a slow-moving storm, which could help with rounds of rain and thunderstorms. Limiting outdoor plans is advisable to stay safe from hail conditions and severe weather.

While some parts of the US can experience flooding and rainfall, Northeast residents can anticipate a warming trend this week, leading to relief from a recent snowy and rainy condition. Additionally, lingering snow is forecast in the Upper Midwest in midweek, with a chance of scattered rain.

The latest NWS advisory shows that light to moderate rain showers can unload in the Upper Midwest, monitoring the possible development of an upper low in the region. In the Northern High Plains, nearby areas can anticipate additional snow and windy conditions, which can continue until midweek.

Additional showers can spread over the Lower Great Lakes, Ohio Valley, Appalachians, and Tennessee Valley. In Michigan, the chance of rain is likely in the late week, particularly Thursday and Friday.

In Kansas City, residents can anticipate potential haze this early week due to strong southwest winds. Motorists should stay alert for blowing dust in western Kansas. In midweek, warm and breezy conditions are likely, with wind gusts reaching 35 mph. Temperatures are expected in the upper 60s and lower 70s. On Tuesday, rain outlook will be possible, particularly in portions south of Interstate 70.

In Detroit, cloudy conditions and a chance of rain are likely. However, it will not significantly affect the viewing of the solar eclipse on April 8. The best chances for clear viewing can occur in parts of northern Arkansas and central Indiana. New England can also expect the same.
