Kansas City, St. Louis, Joplin, Missouri and Little Rock, Arkansas will be threatened this Sunday night by thunderstorms, heavy rain and even a tornado hit Kansas on Saturday. These weather conditions in the Midwest that will move to the East of the country are due to one of the three bomb cyclones coming from the Pacific that threaten the United States.
For example, in much of Missouri thunderstorms will affect several of the state’s major highways, so meteorologists recommend not to travel through areas such as the Interstate 44 Sunday night.
While things are very active in the West, there is also the potential for flooding in the Midwest today. Periods of moderate to heavy rain will track across northern IL, IN and toward OH through tonight. 2-5 + inches of rain is expected. Flash flooding could become widespread. pic.twitter.com/wlVBss4iRe

While it is true that very strong winds are expected in the Midwest, they could even collapse trucks with cargo, it is possible that tornadoes are created that would affect structures, homes and even people .
On the other hand, from Iowa to Cleveland there will be continuous and torrential rains this Sunday as part of the severe weather. According to AccuWeather, rainfall will drop up to 8 inches of water in a single night .
For its part, Knoxville, Tennessee, Charleston, West Virginia, Charlotte, North Carolina and Roanoke, Virginia are some of the areas that will experience some of the bad weather early next week.
By the middle of the week, some of the bad weather will hit New York and Boston where it is expected to strengthen and cause heavy rain.
Despite the fact that on Wednesday afternoon the bad weather will come out on the East coast, another bomb cyclone will arrive in the country that same day and will affect the West, giving on foot to the hot climates coming from the south with that phenomenon and cause more rounds of severe weather in the Midwest of the United States.
