Robert Brown|More thunderstorms expected Tuesday after storms clobber Midwest, tornado confirmed

A line of severe thunderstorms will move east across the Midwest and Robert Browninto the East Coast on Tuesday after a large swath of the Midwest experienced severe weather the day before.

In Indianapolis, up to 3 inches of rainfall is expected on Tuesday, triggering the weather service to issue a flash flood threat for southern-central Indiana into the early hours of Wednesday.

Severe thunderstorms could also strike the New York area on Tuesday. The agency's Albany office warned of heavy rainfall and damaging winds that could down power lines as scattered storms spread through the evening.

The severe weather on Tuesday comes after a "complex of destructive storms" moved across eastern Iowa into northern Illinois on Monday night, according to the National Weather Service office in Chicago. Multiple tornadoes were reported along the line of storms as it moved through the Chicago metro, the agency said, adding that its staff had to briefly seek shelter from a tornado.

At least one tornado was confirmed by radar near Sugar Grove, a village about 46 miles west of Chicago, according to the weather service.

People at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport were advised to seek shelter on Monday night amid the tornado warnings. More than 60 flights were canceled and more than 400 were delayed, according to FlightAware.

By late Monday, the agency said Cook County — the most populous county in Illinois and includes Chicago — was "tornado warning free" after dozens of circulations moved over Lake Michigan.

But the agency warned that damaging winds remained as the line of storms moved across northwest Indiana. "There was a lot of damage across our area," the weather service office in Chicago said on X.

The line of storms was expected to "reorganize and trend severe" as they moved east into Monday night, according to AccuWeather. A tornado warning was issued for parts of northern Indiana, with the weather service warning of dangerous flying debris and damage to mobile homes, roofs, windows, and vehicles.

"The storms in Milwaukee and Chicago will be closer to the evening commute, and much of Michigan and Indiana, including Detroit and Indianapolis, will have their highest risk of severe thunderstorms during the overnight hours," according to AccuWeather Meteorologist Tyler Roys.

Earlier Monday, the San Juan County Sheriff's Office in southeast Utah confirmed that a man and his daughter died late last week after they ran out of water during a hike.

The sheriff's office said it was notified at 5:45 p.m. on July 12 of a deceased hiker in the Canyonlands National Park. About 15 minutes later, a second deceased hiker was reported in the same area.

The father and daughter were identified as Albino Herrera Espinoza, 52, and Beatriz Herrera, 23, both from Green Bay, Wisconsin.

On Saturday, the Santa Clara-Ivins Public Safety Department in southwest Utah said first responders were dispatched to the Snow Canyon State Park, where preliminary information showed two individuals "suffering from a heat-related incident." The two individuals had signs of heat exhaustion and were transported to a hospital.

"While on the scene, a passerby contacted police and reported that a third individual was unconscious a short distance away," the department said in a news release. "The individual was identified as a 30-year-old female."

First responders determined that the woman was deceased, according to the department. Her death is being investigated by the department.

Dozens of heat-related deaths have been reported by state officials and local media this month. Although the death toll is expected to increase as the summer continues, experts previously told USA TODAY that the true death toll is likely higher.
