Strong storms possible overnight tonight and Thursday.

Weak high pressure will bring dry weather today, with a warmer afternoon. A strong system for so near the summer solstice brings the potential for severe storms ahead of and along its cold front overnight tonight and Thursday. In addition to the front, moisture feeding into the area from a Gulf system could heighten the risk of excessive rainfall Thursday into Friday morning. Drier conditions return in time for the start of the weekend.

Flash Flood Guidance

Flash Flood Guidance (FFG) provides a general indication of the amount of rainfall evenly distributed over various durations (in hours), necessary to cause small streams to overflow their natural banks. During heavy rainfall, accurate interpretation of the guidance consists of the combination of rainfall that has already occurred plus any additional rainfall that can be confidently expected to fall over the same location in the immediate future.

It should be noted that FFG values represent estimates of average soil moisture and stream flow conditions. Flooding may occur with less rainfall than indicated in areas of high rainfall intensities, impervious surfaces, or steep slopes.
