- A second, followup weather system will bring even better
atmospheric moisture over the region Saturday night through
Sunday and lead to a prolonged period of light to moderate
rainfall across the Watch area, with embedded convection
producing pockets of heavier rain. Additional rainfall amounts on
the order of 1-2" will fall over several hours or longer on top
of already moist soil, leading to additional runoff.
