...Widespread Heavy Rain and Flooding Possible for the Mid
Week...

An unsettled and wet weather pattern will continue for much of the
work week. This will bring periods of showers and thunderstorms
across the region. While chances of showers are expected today and
Tuesday, excessive rainfall is not anticipated in this period.
Rainfall amounts into Tuesday night will range from around one
inch over northeast Alabama, upwards to two inches over northwest
Alabama.

However, a stronger storm system developing over the Southern
Plains late Monday into Tuesday will move eastward, and reach
the Mississippi Delta and Mid South region late Wednesday into
Thursday. Widespread showers and thunderstorms with heavy
downpours will impact the Tennessee Valley Wednesday into
Thursday. Heavier rain is expected with this second round, with
additional amounts ranging from two to four inches. The heaviest
rain appears more likely over northwest Alabama. These amounts
will add to what fell earlier in the week. Grand totals of three
to over five inches are possible. This amount of rain will result
in saturated soils, with runoff producing areal flooding. A few
instances of flash flooding cannot be ruled out. The runoff will
go into area creeks, streams, and rivers, resulting in higher than
normal water levels. Some of our extended guidance has a number
of rivers going well into flood stage later this week.

Residents in the Tennessee Valley should stay current with the
latest forecast updates from the National Weather Service.
