- Several inches of rain have fallen across the area this
afternoon and evening with several rounds of convection that
moved through. An additional inch of rain will be possible
within the rain shield behind these storms tonight, and some
additional rainfall will be possible during the afternoon
tomorrow. This will exacerbate any ongoing flooding, and any
storms will have the potential for flash flooding given
saturated soils.
