(Los Angeles = Yonhap News) Correspondent Mina Lim = The “Arctic cold wave”, which has hit the United States for over a week, has receded and the cold has eased, but climate threats continue, with heavy rains which begin to fall at various points. places.
According to the National Weather Service (NWS) on the 22nd (local time), temperatures will rise significantly across the United States as the Arctic air mass no longer descends south from Canada.
The NWS noted that although the morning temperature started below freezing in parts of the U.S. East Coast on this day, the temperature is expected to rise to the normal range by the 23rd as the cold weather eases.
However, instead of the extreme cold easing, the NWS warned that heavy rain or sleet began to pour across northwestern California, the Great Lakes coast, Texas and the lower Mississippi River, increasing the risk of flooding.

The southern region is particularly dangerous. The NWS explained that as the enormous Arctic high pressure moves away toward the eastern United States, a long band of warm moisture flows from the Gulf of Mexico toward the southern plains.
As a result, heavy rain has begun to fall across southern Texas this morning, and sleet is falling in northern areas such as Oklahoma, Kansas, Arkansas and Missouri, where cold air still lingers. This type of sleet is expected to lead to large amounts of rain as temperatures rise.
Moist air from the Gulf of Mexico is expected to move across the Midwest and reach the southern Great Lakes region this evening.
In northwestern California, heavy rain is expected to continue for several days as an affected front has developed in the Pacific Ocean. Unsettled weather continues in Southern California, with rain repeatedly falling and ceasing. Heavy snow was expected in the Sierra Nevada mountains.
CNN reported, through NWS data and its own analysis, that approximately 37 million people in the U.S. Gulf Coast and Southeast regions face the threat of heavy rain and flooding for four days between now and the 25th.
Meanwhile, CNN reported that last weekend at least 82 people in 13 states had died in connection with weather-related conditions resulting from the Arctic cold wave and winter storms that have been raging across the United States.
