Waves of showers and embedded thunderstorms will cross the forecast area from southwest to northeast today. Some of these storms will be strong, producing gusty winds and frequent cloud-to-ground lightning strikes. A few will probably become severe, capable of producing damaging winds and large hail. Additionally, localized flooding will be possible across most of the forecast area today through tonight, as many locations will be affected by multiple rounds of heavy rainfall. This should be restricted mainly to low-lying areas and locations with poor drainage. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Tuesday through Sunday. Widespread showers and occasional thunderstorms will continue across the region Tuesday through Wednesday. Torrential downpours falling on increasingly saturated ground will steadily raise the threat of more widespread flooding. Showers and thunderstorms may continue at times on Thursday and Friday as well, possibly worsening any existing flooding problems and potentially creating new flooding. The persistent threat of heavy rainfall through the week may raise the threat of landslides as well for locations in and near the mountains. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotters are requested to forward any reports of large hail, damaging winds, tornadoes, or flash flooding to our office. HG
