Discussion
Light winds across the region coupled with adequate moisture and daytime heating will create favorable conditions for localized showers across northern, western and some central districts. Over the past 24 hours, excessive rainfall has resulted in rainfall accumulations of up to 2 inches. An additional 1 to 2 inches of rainfall is likely mainly during the afternoon with the slight chance of isolated thunderstorms.
