00:00Multiple rounds of dangerous storms are sweeping the U.S. right now.
00:03Active severe weather is pounding the plains and Midwest at the start of June,
00:08bringing heavy rain, hail, and flash flooding to eight states.
00:13NOAA's Weather Prediction Center has flagged the Texas Hill Country and the Ohio Valley
00:17as the highest flash flood risk zones.
00:20These areas have already seen saturated soils from late spring rains,
00:25making runoff faster and flooding more dangerous.
00:28Simultaneously, Florida and the Gulf Coast are transitioning back into their classic summer pattern,
00:34daily afternoon thunderstorms bringing torrential downpours and frequent lightning.
00:39Even on sunny mornings, residents near low-lying areas should plan for afternoon flooding by early evening.
00:46Forecasters warn this multi-round pattern will continue through much of June,
00:50with each storm system potentially training over the same areas and compounding flood damage.
00:55Do not drive through flooded roadways.
