Wet ground from recent rains and heavy rainfall will result in local areas of flash flooding. This evening and overnight a disturbance will move over the region allowing for increasing rainfall coverage and intensity. This is expected to result in areal flooding across the region. Flooding along area rivers is also possible with this scenario. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Thursday We continue the heavy rain event through Saturday, with flooding potential continuing moderate across the region. The system responsible for the increase rain potential across the area will exit the region late Saturday. We will slight reductions in moisture, instability, and dynamics as we move into early next week. However we look to keep plenty of moisture to act as fuel for continued daily rounds of showers and thunderstorms... although their coverage should be decreasing. Due to expected soggy conditions from this weekends heavy rain, the flood potential, although less likely over any area, will continue. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotters are encouraged to stay vigilant today through Saturday for heavy rain and flooding. Please be quick to call the NWS office with reports of heavy rain, rainfall totals, and observed flooding. $$
