Showers and thunderstorms with heavy rainfall, with a few thunderstorms being severe, are expected over portions of the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic States through Monday. Across the Rockies and Intermountain West, a storm system will bring showers, thunderstorms and high elevation snow.
Overview
A slow-moving upper-level disturbance produced several rounds of showers and thunderstorms across the Black Hills and adjacent plains over the 2018 Memorial Day weekend. This led to locally heavy rainfall and flooding, particularly near Newcastle in northeastern Wyoming and across portions of Fall River County in South Dakota.
