Forecasters have predicted that rainfall may reach up to 8 inches in certain places.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Cities facing some of the greatest storm hazards Monday include Denver, Wichita, Kansas City and St. Louis, according to CBS News meteorologist Nikki Nolan. The southwestern corner of Missouri and northwestern corner of neighboring Arkansas faced particularly steep flooding risks, Nolan said.<\/p>\n<p>Forecasters also warned that excessive rain over parts of Tennessee and Alabama would continue to carry the potential for &#8220;considerable and life-threatening flooding&#8221; through Monday evening, after as much as 9 inches of rain drenched the region on Sunday. Rushing water triggered a flash flood emergency near Huntsville, Alabama, where video footage captured vehicles partially submerged on a street. The flooding left some drivers stranded.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-medium\">\n<p>      <span class=\"img embed__content \"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/06\/08\/ad98742e-3043-4e3a-bd7a-e082fc471a37\/thumbnail\/620x343\/dde1bd958df5e373e225852a718a5031\/rain-forecast.png#\" alt=\"rain-forecast.png \" height=\"343\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/06\/08\/ad98742e-3043-4e3a-bd7a-e082fc471a37\/thumbnail\/620x343\/dde1bd958df5e373e225852a718a5031\/rain-forecast.png 1x\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__caption\"\/><\/p>\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__credit\"><\/p>\n<p>                Nikki Nolan\/CBS News<\/p>\n<p>                          <\/span><br \/>\n              <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Parts of the South were affected, too. In Texas&#8217; Milam County, about an hour outside of Austin, torrential downpours caused vehicles to slide off of local roads on Saturday and prompted multiple water rescues. In Slidell, Louisiana, up to 6 inches of rain fell in less than 12 hours, which also caused flash flooding.<\/p>\n<p>As the weekend storms pounded northeastern states like Pennsylvania and New York, Pittsburgh resident Tim Broadwater told &#8220;CBS Mornings&#8221; that ferocious wind gusts shook his home so violently that it was knocked off of the cement blocks that previously held it upright.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I was scared to death,&#8221; Broadwater said. &#8220;I thought I was going to end up in the creek.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In New York City, officials said <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/newyork\/news\/85-year-old-killed-by-falling-tree-during-storm-in-queens\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">an 85-year-old man was struck and killed by a falling tree<\/a><\/span> in Queens.
