NEAR AND NORTH OF HWY 2. THE SOUTH AND SOUTHWEST WILL BE HINDERED
SOMEWHAT BY PESKY STRATUS STILL PERSISTING INTO THIS AFTERNOON.

EARLY IN THE WEEK.

HEAVY RAINFALL IS POSSIBLE WITH STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THIS
EVENING. MOVEMENT SHOULD BE FAST ENOUGH TO PREVENT WIDESPREAD FLASH
FLOODING...HOWEVER SOME THUNDERSTORMS MAY TRACK OVER THE SAME
