Large portion of the region will have moderate to high chances for total rain amounts of at least 3 inches. The heavy rain, combined with lingering damp soil from last week's rain, could lead to areas of flooding. Rain will be most widespread/persistent Tuesday evening into Thursday morning.

Heavy rainfall and potential flooding is becoming an increasing concern for the upcoming work week. Rain is likely to return Monday night and continue periodically through much of the work week. Total rainfall amounts of at least 2-4 inches are expected, which combined with already wet soils, could lead to areal and river flooding later this week. Stay tuned to the forecast over the coming days!
