Technical Forecast Discussion

Key Message:

  • Scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected for the remainder of the week.

Key Message 1…

We will transition into zonal upper-level flow. This will cause any frontal boundaries to become slow moving leading to chances for showers and thunderstorms for the remainder of the week. During this time, we are under a Marginal Risk (level 1 out of 4) for excessive rainfall due to the slow-moving nature and the potential of locally heavy rainfall capable of producing flash flooding. Rainfall totals of about 1 to 1.5″ of rain during this time. A Flood Watch is NOT anticipated at this time, as the flood concern is expected to remain mostly localized.
