A flood watch remains in effect until 2 am Tuesday for much of the region, according to the National Weather Service.
There is a Moderate Risk (3/4) of excessive rainfall leading to flash flooding beginning this afternoon into tonight, according to the National Weather Service.
Scattered thunderstorms with heavy rain are expected to result in numerous flash floods across parts of the region.
Widespread rain amounts of 1 to 2 inches are possible, with localized amounts over 3 inches possible, according to the Weather Service.
The Flood Watch was expanded to include a majority of our area (see Flood Watch map).
A few isolated severe thunderstorms with damaging winds are possible, according to the Weather Service, but the main threat will be flash flooding of urbanized and poor drainage areas, small streams, and creeks.
There will be chances of showers and thunderstorms each day this week.
Remain alert for changing weather conditions, and have a reliable, trustworthy source to receive warnings should they be issued.
Please remember to NEVER drive through flooded roads - Turn Around, Don't Drown.
