Moisture will continue to increase while a very slow moving disturbance moves out of Mexico. This will lead to an increase in thunderstorm coverage through at least Friday and possibly Saturday. Storms will be capable of very heavy rainfall rates with little motion, and thus flash flooding is a concern. Rainfall rates will vary from location to location with some people receiving little to none while others may receive totals in excess of 3 inches. There still is uncertainty on which locations will have the greatest risk for heavy rainfall and flash flooding. Be aware of changing weather conditions and the possibility of watches, advisories, and warnings. If you come across a flooded roadway, TURN AROUND. DON'T DROWN. Brown/Brice
