- Thunderstorms will be possible tonight across portions of the
watch area which may produce heavy rainfall. A second round

The second round is where the higher concern comes for

training storms along a frontal boundary which will be
stalled across the area. Generally, 2 to 3 inches of rainfall
could fall in a 3-6 hour period with higher amounts possible
across areas that see repeated storms.



PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible Flood
Warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be prepared
to take action should flooding develop.
