.DISCUSSION...
.FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT THROUGH EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING...

A cloudy morning has delayed thunderstorm development but as of
early this afternoon, skies were clearing and the sun was heating
the ground up. Hence expect scattered showers/thunderstorms to
develop around sunset and persist into early Wednesday morning.

Precip chances will gradually diminish through the remainder of the
week, though will remain at slight chances. The decrease of moisture
should also limit flooding potential. By the weekend temperatures
will warm to well above normal.
