OVERNIGHT Storms will continue through the early overnight hours, gradually weakening after 1–2 AM. Rain and embedded thunderstorms may linger through dawn. Rainfall totals tonight alone could reach 1 to 2 inches in some spots, adding to a growing flooding concern for the coming days. South winds remain gusty early on, with gusts topping 40–50 mph at times before settling back toward 25–30 mph after midnight. Lows fall into the upper 50s. THURSDAY There may be a break in the rain for parts of the morning and early afternoon, but showers and a few thunderstorms return later in the day. Skies become mostly cloudy, and highs reach the upper 60s. The heavier round of rain holds off until overnight, when the second wave of storms arrives. THURSDAY NIGHT Rain and thunderstorms become widespread again, with another 1 to 2 inches of rainfall possible. Flooding risks increase. Lows settle around 50 degrees with lighter winds, but heavy downpours could lead to flash flooding and rising creeks. FRIDAY Rain lingers into the day with some embedded storms possible, especially in the afternoon and evening. Rainfall will be steady but not as intense early, then increase again after sunset. Highs top out in the low 60s with a steady east wind. FRIDAY NIGHT Another heavy round of rain and thunderstorms pushes in, possibly dropping another 1–2 inches. Localized flooding becomes more likely, and ongoing river rises will begin to accelerate. Lows stay very mild near the mid 50s, and winds begin to shift back southeast. SATURDAY Rain continues nearly all day. Some storms may bring heavy downpours, and rainfall totals from Friday night through Saturday afternoon could exceed 2 inches. With soils saturated, additional flooding issues become more widespread. Highs remain stuck in the mid 60s, with a breeze shifting west later in the day. SATURDAY NIGHT Showers and thunderstorms remain possible into the evening before coverage gradually decreases overnight. Still, some pockets of moderate rain could linger, keeping totals high. Lows drop into the low 40s as cooler air works in. 7 DAY FORECAST The biggest concern over the next few days will be flooding—both flash flooding and significant river flooding. Four rounds of heavy rain are expected between Wednesday night and Saturday night, and some areas may see over 6 inches of rainfall during that time. Sunday finally brings an end to the storms but stays gloomy and much cooler. Next week will feel more like early spring again, with temperatures in the 40s and 50s and a return to mostly dry conditions by Monday. Stay alert for updates as this active stretch unfolds. ...read more read less
