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.

Rivers rose and flooding worsened with severe weather already killing at least 18 people in the South and Midwest.

The storm inundating a large stretch of the South and Midwest has wreaked havoc since Wednesday. But heavy rain and flooding are likely to ease considerably by Monday.

Another round of torrential rain and flash flooding came Saturday for parts of the South and Midwest already heavily waterlogged by days of severe storms that also spawned deadly tornadoes.
