...LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL POSSIBLE THIS EVENING, AND STRONG TO 
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE THURSDAY...

A FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL CONTINUE TO LIFT NORTHWARD THIS EVENING INTO 
TONIGHT, KEEPING A WARM AND HUMID AIRMASS IN PLACE. WITH THE 
ABUNDANCE OF MOISTURE IN THE ATMOSPHERE ACROSS THE REGION, LOCALLY 
HEAVY RAINFALL IS POSSIBLE WITH SOME OF THE SHOWERS AND 
THUNDERSTORMS THIS EVENING.

LOCALIZED RAINFALL AMOUNTS THROUGH THIS EVENING OF AN INCH OR TWO ARE
POSSIBLE WITHIN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME, AS RAINFALL RATES COULD 
REACH UP TO TWO INCHES PER HOUR, ESPECIALLY WITH SOME OF THE 
THUNDERSTORMS. IF HEAVY RAIN OCCURS, THIS WILL LIKELY RESULT IN 
FLOODING IN AREAS OF POOR DRAINAGE AND ALONG SMALL STREAMS AND 
CREEKS. REMEMBER, NEVER DRIVE ACROSS A ROADWAY WHICH IS COVERED BY 
WATER. IF YOU LIVE IN AN AREA THAT IS PRONE TO FLOODING, ESPECIALLY 
LOCATIONS WHICH HAVE RECEIVED HEAVY RAIN OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS, BE 
SURE TO MONITOR THE LATEST WEATHER INFORMATION.

DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF CLOUD COVER THIS AFTERNOON, WIDESPREAD SEVERE 
THUNDERSTORMS ARE NOT ANTICIPATED THIS EVENING. HOWEVER, AN ISOLATED 
STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM CANNOT BE RULED OUT WITH THE MAIN 
THREAT BEING A STRONG WIND GUST.

FOR THURSDAY, A COLD FRONT WILL BE SLOWLY APPROACHING THE ENTIRE 
REGION FROM THE WEST. ONCE AGAIN, SCATTERED SHOWERS AND 
THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED, ESPECIALLY DURING THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND 
EVENING. THERE IS THE POTENTIAL THAT SOME THUNDERSTORMS ON THURSDAY 
COULD TURN SEVERE WITH DAMAGING WINDS AND HAIL. LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN 
WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE WITH THUNDERSTORMS ON THURSDAY. AS A REMINDER, 
DANGEROUS CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING IS ALWAYS A THREAT WITH ANY 
THUNDERSTORM. STAY TUNED FOR LATER STATEMENTS ON THURSDAY'S SEVERE 
WEATHER POTENTIAL.

STAY TUNED TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO, THE VOICE OF THE NATIONAL WEATHER 
SERVICE, OR YOUR LOCAL MEDIA OUTLETS FOR FURTHER UPDATES.
