Key Message 1…

A lingering frontal boundary will make way for chances for showers and thunderstorms throughout the end to our week week and beginning of our weekend. Model runs are showing a total of around 1 to 1.5 inches of rainfall from today until Sunday. Localized flash flooding is possible and the WPC has put us in a Marginal Risk (1/4) for excessive rainfall today and a Slight Risk (2/4) for excessive rainfall Friday and Saturday. This excessive rainfall is due to the cold front approaching from the north paired with a 2 shortwaves aloft. Severe weather is not expected at this time, though isolated stronger storms cannot be ruled out.
