Discussion
A disturbance will bring more heavy rain to the region; especially, during the morning hours and there can be a thunderstorm mixed in as well. Watch for some serious localized flooding conditions and as always, "turn around, don't drown". Building high pressure will result in some clearing later tonight and the next couple of days will feature plenty of sunshine and warm conditions. The high pressure system will shift to the east of here by later Wednesday and a cold front will cross the area later Thursday into Friday and there can be some strong thunderstorm activity associated with the late week frontal system. Elsewhere, low pressure now situated over the Southeast US is likely to drop southward to over the Gulf of Mexico and it could very well intensify into a tropical storm later in the week.
