.DISCUSSION...
Showers with embedded thunderstorms containing moderate to heavy
rainfall will continue through nightfall, then become more
isolated to scattered and much lighter or even sprinkles. After
rain ends overnight, areas of fog with isolated areas of dense fog
will likely develop through mid-late morning before dissipating.

A cold front arrives during the afternoon with scattered strong to
severe storms possible with hail and damaging winds as the main
impacts. A few may produce brief heavy rainfall across areas that
are completely saturated and could result in a brief increase in
areas where flooding is already ongoing. Weather should clear out
from the northwest during the evening Monday with a brief day or
two break before the next system impacts the region.

Additional, localized rainfall amounts of 1-2" will be possible
through tomorrow, but there will be a break tonight through mid
morning Monday.
