We still have another round of rain possible tonight as some storms on the backside of the low pressure system develop in the area. The coverage won't be as widespread, but another 1-3" of rain is possible. Flooding remains a threat overnight.
Multiple rounds of showers/storms will bring heavy rainfall to the region over the next few days. A Flood Watch is in effect for the entire Tri-State Area this evening (Tuesday September 29) through late Thursday afternoon (October 01). Most or all of the area is forecast to see 1 to 3" of rain over the next 48 hours. Locally heavier amounts (up to 5") are possible. Widespread heavy rain may lead to flooding in rivers, creeks, streams and other low-lying areas. Torrential rainfall with slow moving storms could lead to isolated flash flooding during the morning hours on both Wednesday and Thursday. Be alert for possible Flood Warnings and be prepared to take action and move to higher ground, should flooding develop.
Rain chances increase today with locally heavy rain possible. Scattered showers continue through Thursday afternoon before ending. Temperatures will be on the cool side with the rain and clouds.
