This alert applies to to the following locations: United States of America / Canada
A corridor of rain and thunderstorms will stretch from the Rocky Mountains to the Great Lakes throughout today, bringing the threat of travel delays and flooding.
Travel delays should be anticipated across this zone through at least today, which includes the cities of Omaha, Nebraska; Kansas City, Missouri; Des Moines, Iowa; Denver; Chicago; Detroit and Toronto.
The moisture-rich air from the south will help to fuel drenching downpours along this boundary. It is also possible for some stronger storms to develop and produce incidents of localized hail and gusty winds. Blinding downpours will be the primary threat, however, and can result in temporary ground stoppages at airports and road closures due to flooding.
Slowed traffic and delays should be expected along portions of Interstate 29, as well as long stretches of I-70; I-80; and I-90, as the soaking showers and thunderstorms move through.
Anyone planning to travel across the areas to be impacted by the showers and storms should allow extra time to reach their destinations to compensate for poor visibility and soaked roadways.
Later in the week, the zone of showers and thunderstorms is expected to shift eastward slowly away from the Rockies and dissolve over the Midwest.
