Flooding risk remains as deadly storms move from the Midwest to the mid-Atlantic

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (AP) — Thunderstorms, heavy rain and flash flooding continued to threaten a swath of the U.S. from the Midwest to the mid-Atlantic Monday, extending a deadly stretch of unsettled weather. The National Weather Service said repeated rounds of heavy rain and thunderstorms would continue for one more day before a cold front sweeps the weather pattern off the East Coast on Tuesday. In the meantime, much of West Virginia, southeast Ohio and northeast Kentucky were under a flood watch through Monday evening, with high water lingering from previous storms increasing the possibility of flash flooding. In Indiana, where days of storms and flooding left at least seven people dead, floodwaters receded in Indianapolis' White River and rains eased in other parts of the state Sunday. A 4-year-old boy, three men and three women were among those who had died since the storms that began Aug.
