...MORE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ON THE WAY...

AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE MOVED ACROSS THE REGION OVERNIGHT...BRINGING
A BAND OF SHOWERS AND A FEW THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE AREA THIS
MORNING.  A SERIES OF WEAKER DISTURBANCES WILL MOVE ACROSS THE AREA
TODAY...CAUSING SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FOR THE AREA THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING.  THUNDERSTORMS THIS EVENING ARE NOT EXPECTED TO
BE SEVERE...BUT MAY PRODUCE GUSTY WINDS OF 40 TO 50 MPH AND SOME SMALL
HAIL.

TONIGHT A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE TOWARDS THE AREA...WITH SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS TO AFFECT PORTIONS OF THE REGION AHEAD OF THE FRONT.
THE FRONT WILL SLOWLY DROP SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE AREA TUESDAY AND
TUESDAY NIGHT...WITH SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS LIKELY THROUGHOUT
THE REGION.  A FEW OF THESE STORMS MAY BE SEVERE...DUE TO HIGH
INSTABILITY AND GOOD UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT.  THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR
LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS.

OF A MORE SERIOUS NATURE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR SIGNIFICANT RAINFALL TO BE
GENERATED BY THIS FRONTAL SYSTEM...ESPECIALLY ON TUESDAY AND TUESDAY
NIGHT.  DUE TO LAST TUESDAYS RECENT HEAVY RAIN EVENT...AND WITH SOME
RIVERS STILL IN FLOOD...AREA RIVERS...CREEKS AND STREAMS WILL HAVE TO BE
WATCHED CAREFULLY.

SPOTTER ACTIVATION MAY BE NECESSARY THIS AFTERNOON...AND AGAIN ON
TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT.

EMERGENCY MANAGERS AND EMERGENCY RESPONDERS WHO HAVE RESPONSIBILITIES
ALONG AREA RIVERS THAT ARE IN FLOOD...OR HAVE RECENTLY BEEN IN
FLOOD...SHOULD MONITOR LATER FORECASTS AND STATEMENTS FOR UPDATED
INFORMATION CONCERNING THE POTENTIAL FOR POSSIBLE HEAVY RAIN ON
TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT.
