THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO MOVE NORTHEASTWARD INTO THE
MIDDLE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY TODAY AND INTO THE UPPER GREAT LAKES BY
TUESDAY. AS THE LOW MOVES NORTHEAST ALONG THE QUASI-STATIONARY
FRONTAL BOUNDARY...THE MAIN RISK OF HEAVY RAINFALL WILL SHIFT TO
THE MIDDLE MISSISSIPPI AND OHIO VALLEYS AND INTO THE UPPER GREAT
LAKES. THROUGH TUESDAY MORNING...WIDESPREAD RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 2
TO 4 INCHES ARE EXPECTED THERE...WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS
POSSIBLE. ADDITIONALLY...ABUNDANT TROPICAL MOISTURE REMAINING IN
TEXAS AND THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY COULD LEAD TO ANOTHER 2 TO
4 INCHES OF RAIN OVER SOME LOCATIONS WHERE SOILS ARE SATURATED OR
FLOODING HAS OCCURRED. THUS...ALTHOUGH THE RAIN IS EXPECTED TO BE
LIGHTER THAN IN PREVIOUS DAYS...FLASH FLOODING REMAINS A CONCERN.
THE NEXT STORM SUMMARY WILL BE ISSUED BY THE WEATHER PREDICTION
CENTER AT 1000 AM CDT. PLEASE REFER TO YOUR LOCAL NATIONAL WEATHER
SERVICE OFFICE FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS EVENT.
