Weekend severe weather threat brews for millions in Ozarks, Mississippi Valley
A brewing cross-country storm that's expected to gather strength as it moves into the Plains and Mississippi Valley could trigger a potentially dangerous severe weather threat for millions of people across the region this weekend.
NOAA's Storm Prediction Center placed an area extending from northeastern Texas to southern Illinois in a Level 2 threat on its 5-point severe thunderstorm risk scale on Saturday.
This cross-country storm first moved onshore along the West Coast on Tuesday, bringing flooding rain that prompted evacuations in Southern California and the first Severe Thunderstorm Watch for Los Angeles in more than 17 years.

1 killed, 51 rescued in western Alaska flooding caused by Typhoon Halong's remnants
Record-setting flooding in western Alaska from the remnants of Typhoon Halong has left at least one person dead after the storm slammed villages and damaged key roads and regional airports along the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta region over the weekend.
Alaska State Troopers announced late Monday that a woman had been found dead in the small coastal village of Kwigillingok. Fifty-one people and two dogs were rescued from that village and the village of Kipnuk.
State Troopers said Tuesday night that two people remain unaccounted for in Kwigillingok, and a joint task force made a decision Tuesday to end active search and rescue operations. State police initially said on Monday that all the missing had been found.
