 .DISCUSSION...
 Additional showers and thunderstorms will move across the region 
 this afternoon and evening along a cold front. Heavy rainfall could 
 lead to more flash flooding and gusty winds could cause trees rooted 
 in saturated soils to fall. Fog and very low clouds develop late 
 tonight into Tuesday morning behind the departing cold front. Dry 
 weather returns Tuesday and Wednesday before another storm system 
 brings a renewed chance for heavy rain on Thursday.
