MONDAYâ¦
Several waves of precipitation are expected within a 24-hour window causing a concern for saturated poor-drainage areas and swollen streams. The first round of precipitation should be moderate to heavy after sunrise. The second round in the afternoon is a double whammy of severe weather. Isolated damaging winds will be possible along with the threat of flash flooding wherever the heaviest rain ends up falling. Severe weather is slightly favored for the southern counties. Highest rainfall is favored for the northern counties. The entire state is under a Flash Flood Watch from Monday afternoon to Tuesday morning. Be prepared to drive through slower than usual traffic, road ponding, and possibility flooded roadways. Do not drive through a flooded street.
