Expected impacts:
- Widely scattered showers and
isolated thunderstorms are possible across the area today with coverage of
around 30 percent likely at any given time
- Periods of showers and
thunderstorms are likely from around Midnight or shortly after tonight
through about 9am on Tuesday
- Scattered showers and
thunderstorms are possible from 9am to 6pm on Tuesday
- Locally heavy rainfall is
likely at times with thunderstorms, especially tonight into early Tuesday
morning
- Additional rainfall of around 1
inch is likely with localized amounts of 1-2 inches possible in some parts
of the area, which is likely to cause minor flooding of low lying and poor
drainage areas at times during the period
Details:
...Today and This Evening...
Widely scattered showers and thunderstorms are possible. Coverage will likely
average 30 percent throughout most of the period. Generally brief but locally
heavy downpours of rain and lightning are possible with any isolated
thunderstorms.
...Midnight Tonight thru 9am Tuesday...
Periods of showers and thunderstorms are likely from around Midnight or 1am
tonight through about 8 or 9am Tuesday. Locally heavy rainfall can be expected
at times during the period, and cloud to ground lightning can be expected with
any thunderstorms. Mostly minor flooding of low water crossings and similar
flood prone areas can be expected in at least some parts of the area in
association with this activity.
There will also be a risk for gusty winds as the (expected) main band of thunderstorms
initially approaches the area between Midnight tonight and 2am Tuesday. Present
indications suggest the strongest winds will be to the immediate South of the
local area, but we'll continue to monitor trends closely as the situation
evolves.
...9am Tuesday to 6pm Tuesday...
Scattered showers and thunderstorms are possible during the daytime hours on
Tuesday. Coverage will likely average 30 percent in the morning (after 9am) and
then 40 percent during the afternoon hours. Generally brief but locally heavy
downpours of rain and lightning are likely with any thunderstorms.
Total Rainfall for the Period:
Additional rainfall of around 1 inch is likely with localized amounts of 1-2
inches possible in some parts of the area, the majority of which will occur
from Midnight tonight to 9am Tuesday.
Remainder of the Week:
A relative lull in precipitation (with mostly just spotty activity) is expected
for Wednesday and Thursday, and then increasing chances of showers and
thunderstorms are expected again toward Friday and into next weekend.
Synopsis:
- Scattered showers and
thunderstorms are possible across the area this evening, especially
toward/after 8pm, with locally heavy downpours possible in the affected
areas
- Periods of showers and
thunderstorms are likely from around 10pm or shortly after this evening
through about 6am on Monday, with locally heavy rainfall likely and
strong, gusty winds possible initially
- Scattered showers and
thunderstorms are possible during the daytime and evening hours on Monday
- Periods of showers and
thunderstorms are likely from around 2-3am Tuesday through about 9am
Tuesday, with locally heavy rainfall possible at times during the period
- Widespread rainfall of 1-2
inches is likely with localized amounts of 2-3 inches possible in some parts
of the area, which may lead to at least minor flooding of low lying and
poor drainage areas at times during the period
Details:
...Now through 10pm This Evening...
Scattered showers and thunderstorms are possible across the area this evening,
especially toward/after 8pm, with locally heavy downpours possible in the
affected areas. An isolated stronger thunderstorm could also produce gusty
winds and/or hail in the affected portion(s) of the area, again, especially
toward/after 8pm.
...10pm This Evening thru 6am Monday Morning...
Periods of showers and thunderstorms are likely. Locally heavy rainfall can be
expected at times during the period, and cloud to ground lightning can be
expected with any thunderstorms. As the initial main line of thunderstorms
approaches a given location late this evening/early tonight (generally between
10pm and 1am), strong, gusty winds are possible in parts of the area.
Minor flooding of some of the typically more vulnerable low water crossings and
similar flood prone areas is possible in at least some parts of the area,
particularly near/adjacent to areas where downpours are more persistent.
...Daytime and Evening Hours on Monday...
Scattered showers and thunderstorms are possible during the daytime and evening
hours on Monday. Coverage will likely average 40 percent throughout most of the
period. Generally brief but locally heavy downpours of rain and lightning are
likely with any thunderstorms.
...2am Tuesday through 9am Tuesday...
Periods of showers and thunderstorms are likely from around 2-3am Tuesday
through about 9am Tuesday. Locally heavy rainfall can be expected at times
during the period, and cloud to ground lightning can be expected with any
thunderstorms. Mostly minor flooding of low water crossings and similar flood
prone areas is possible in at least some parts of the area. This will be of
greatest concern in areas that also receive heavy rainfall on Sunday
night/Monday morning.
...9am Tuesday to 6pm Tuesday...
Scattered showers and thunderstorms are possible during the daytime and evening
hours on Monday. Coverage will likely average 40 percent throughout most of the
period. Generally brief but locally heavy downpours of rain and lightning are
likely with any thunderstorms.
Total Rainfall for the Period:Widespread rainfall of 1-2 inches is likely with localized amounts of 2-3
inches possible in some parts of the area.
Remainder of the Week:
Please be aware that periods of scattered shower and thunderstorm activity are
expected again on Wednesday and especially on Thursday and Friday of this week.
Depending upon how much rainfall is received beforehand, any additional heavy
rainfall during the middle and latter portions of the week could further
aggravate the low land flooding potential across the area, and this will need
to continue to be monitored closely.
