Isolated Flood Threat Today & Tonight

Isolated Flood Threat Through Tuesday

Rain Chances End; Normal Temps Return

Scattered showers and storms will impact much of the region today, continuing into tonight. Rain amounts will be hit or miss, but areas that do see storms will receive locally heavy rainfall due to efficient rain rates and slow storm motions, resulting in an isolated flood threat. Never drive into water of unknown depth. Remember to Turn Around, Don't Drown. Strong, gusty and erratic winds in and nearby storms will be hazardous to those outdoors, especially if boating on area lakes. Keep an eye on the weather today!
