As a record rain event comes to an end for the Mississippi, Ohio and Tennessee valleys, flooding impacts will continue this week as floodwaters flow into streams and rivers, likely causing more flooding in previously spared areas.

We've seen a relentless surge of severe thunderstorms, tornadoes, and flooding rain for over a week now in the Midwest and South. Fortunately, there's light at the end of this tunnel. Here's when quieter weather will arrive and how long it may last.

Flash flooding will continue and major river flooding will develop from the South into the Ohio Valley this weekend. Severe storms could also produce tornadoes, wind damage and large hail, especially in parts of the South.
