- A plume of tropical moisture will overspread the area and will
combine with strong lift and weak to moderate instability to

of flooding. Total rainfall of 3 to 6 inches are forecast, with
locally higher amounts possible. The highest amounts are expected
to be where bands of thunderstorms are most persistent.
