Severe Storms Expected Today

Flood Watch Through Tue. AM

A moderate (Level 4 out of 5) risk exists for parts of the forecast area, with an enhanced (Level 3) and slight (Level 2) risk extending southeastward. Greater confidence exists with storms developing into a line of storms later this evening/overnight. However, a conditional threat exists for the development of discrete storms this afternoon, dependent on how the atmosphere recovers from morning storms. Stay up to date with the forecast, and have multiple ways to receive warnings!

A Flood Watch remains in effect for much of the area through Tuesday morning. Recent updates to the watch include expanding it further southward, and the introduction of a moderate risk for excessive rainfall generally south of I-70. Thunderstorms with heavy rainfall this morning, plus heavy rainfall expected later with severe storms, will enhance flooding concerns. This will be especially true for areas that have already seen significant rainfall the past few days.
