At the beginning of June 2026, a series of intense thunderstorms are impacting the US Plains and Midwest, resulting in substantial rainfall, hail, and rapid flooding across a stretch of 8 states. The Weather Prediction Center of NOAA cautions that flash flooding poses a significant threat, especially through the Texas Hill Country and Ohio Valley. Additionally, the daily afternoon thunderstorm patterns are re-emerging in Florida and along the Gulf Coast as the area transitions into its summer climate, with localized flooding anticipated even on typically sunny days.
