Notes from The First Alert Weather Team:

  • This morning showers and thunderstorms are quickly approaching our area.
  • Temperatures are mild in the low to mid 60s and won’t move much today.
  • A FLOOD WATCH is in effect for most of our viewing area as repeated heavy rain will saturate grounds over the next 36 hours and could lead to areas of flooding.
  • On and off showers and thunderstorms are likely all day today and lasting through tonight into Monday morning.
  • Some rain will be very heavy, and some storms could be strong with gusty winds, hail, and/or an isolated tornado possible.
  • Widespread rain totals of 1-3″ are likely, with locally higher amounts approaching 6″ possible wherever repeated heavy rain sets up.
  • As rain starts to move away Monday, wind will increase with some gusts above 30 mph.
  • Rain gradually comes to an end as this system pulls away into the Atlantic Monday afternoon.
