chances of 2 inches or more of rainfall with low to medium chances
of 4 to 6 inches mainly across the eastern half of the area. This

through Thursday. There is a slight to moderate risk of excessive
rainfall across the area Tuesday through Thursday. Also, going
with medium- high chances of rain Wednesday afternoon and night.
Have issued an SPS for the upcoming event. Keep up with the latest
