Widespread, Beneficial Rainfall Likely Tuesday PM thru Thursday AM....



Valid Period of this Advisory:

12:00 PM Tuesday (03/27/18) until 07:00 AM Thursday (03/29/18)


Expected impacts:
  • Periods of showers and thunderstorms are likely from mainly after 12 Noon on Tuesday through 7am on Thursday
  • Locally heavy downpours of rain are possible at times especially with any thunderstorms during the period
  • Total rainfall is expected to average 2.5 to 3.5 inches across the local area with this event
  • Locally higher rainfall amounts are possible with any organized/persistent areas of thunderstorms
Discussion:
Periods of showers and thunderstorms are likely from mainly after 12 Noon on Tuesday through 7am on Thursday. It will not rain during that entire period of time, but more likely on an occasional to intermittent basis during the period.

Locally heavy downpours of rain are possible at times especially with any thunderstorms during the period.

Total rainfall is expected to average 2.5 to 3.5 inches across the local area with this event. Locally higher rainfall amounts are possible in spots, especially in association with any organized/persistent areas of thunderstorms during the period.

At this time this event does not appear likely to produce widespread and/or organized flooding across the area, but a few locally flood prone low lying areas (i.e., some of the more vulnerable low water crossings and the like) could possibly need to be monitored at times especially during any persistent periods of locally heavy downpours that may occur at least in spots across the area. As we move closer to the even the most likely time periods for any such concerns should become more apparent.


We will continue monitoring the situation and issue updates as conditions warrant.

Forecaster Confidence (Low/Moderate/High):

Moderate to High
