So if the Flash Flood Watch along with the above normal heat and humidity wasn’t enough the Storm Prediction Center has increased the risk for our entire area to a slight risk. The greatest threat will be from gusty thunderstorms later today and tonight that will also contain downpours.
We are also in a slight risk for flash flooding from the potential heavy rain that is forecast for later today, tonight and overnight.
Approximately 1″ of rain is forecast across the board for our area. However if you receive a drenching thunderstorm that is slow moving, you will receive much more than that!
