Scattered showers and thunderstorms will increase in coverage starting this afternoon and continue at times into Wednesday evening. Although we are likely to begin seeing precipitation increase at times starting this afternoon, present indications suggest that the activity will likely become the most widespread (and prone to be heavier at times) from Tuesday into Tuesday night/pre-dawn Wednesday.
Locally heavy downpours of rain are possible at times with any heavier showers and scattered thunderstorms throughout the period.
We continue to forecast average total rainfall of 2-3 inches for most of the local area with this event. Locally higher amounts of 3-5 inches are possible in some spots, mainly where any heavier showers or thunderstorms may become concentrated and/or repeat over the same areas at times during the period. It will be difficult to pinpoint where any such heavier precipitation areas are likely to develop until after the more numerous activity starts to get underway.
Mainly localized areas of relatively minor/nuisance type flooding are possible at times especially in low lying and poor drainage areas in association with any heavier activity. This will likely become of particular concern in some parts of the area from Tuesday into Tuesday night/pre-dawn Wednesday, as noted above.
We will continue monitoring the situation and issue updates as conditions warrant.
