Flash Flooding This Memorial Day


After a stormy weekend, saturated ground continues to be inundated by more rain early this week. Along with several FLASH FLOOD WARNINGS, a FLASH FLOOD WATCH is in effect until Tuesday morning. A round of rain will move through this morning, before the potential for clearing during the middle of the day. If we see some sun, instability and heat will increase enough to see strong to severe storms to redevelop by tonight. Large hail and damaging winds are the primary threat. A warm front pulling north will help warm highs into the low to mid 70s.



Storm chances continue with lows in the mid 60s overnight. Much of Tuesday will be dry, but storm chances return by tomorrow night. The potential for severe storms sticks around in our northern half, with large hail and damaging winds once again a possibility.


Highs will warm into the low to mid 80s. Wednesday will finally bring some drying as highs warm into the mid to upper 80s. However, storm chances will be back late Wednesday night, lasting all the way into Saturday. We could see some heavy rain fall and strong storms as highs remain in the low 80s. Skies will clear as we head into early next week, but temperatures are looking cooler in the mid to upper 70s.
