Stormy Weather in Southern U.S To Bring Relief After Summerlike Temperatures Last Week

Residents in the Southern U.S would feel some relief after experiencing summerlike temperatures last week.

The temperatures in the United States have been on a rollercoaster ride, from warm to a sudden shift to the early taste of winter.

However, the rain is expected to come from severe weather in some areas in the Southern U.S and could look into localized flooding.

Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Roslyn has strengthened into a Hurricane that would unleash heavy rains and strong winds in portions of Mexico.

Category 3 Hurricane Roslyn could help add moisture to the severe storm, allowing rainfall in drought-stricken areas in Texas and Mississippi.

While some areas in the United States in eastern and northeastern U.S. have felt the early arrival of winter and temperatures started to cool down, parts of the Northwest and Midwest are reported for a rebound to warm temperatures.

According to AccuWeather's latest weather update, the severe storm, which resulted in snow accumulation in the Rockies, would impact portions of the southern United States starting Monday.

The report noted that the U.S Drought Monitor said that Texas and Oklahoma have been experiencing moderate to extreme drought, affecting farming and residents.

The rainfall from the storm would help alleviate the heat and drench drought-stricken areas.

The rain is also expected to help the long drought in the Mississippi River.

According to reports, the drought in the Missippi River would have no significant changes this year. Farmers who depend on the river have been much-affected.

Starting Monday, Oklamaha and Dallas would expect gusty thunderstorms. Meanwhile, Houston would have rain and thunderstorms, and El Pasa could see rain showers.
On Tuesday, eastern Missouri, northeastern Texas, and portions of Oklahoma could experience one to two inches of rain.
