This surface low is expected to begin propagating northward along
eastern Texas this evening into Thursday before it develops
frontal structure and moves into the Lower Mississippi Valley.
Rain should spread out ahead of the system across the Southeast
with an additional 1 to 3 inches likely along the Gulf Coast, and
locally higher amounts potentially reaching 5 inches by Saturday.
A widespread 2 to 4 inches of rainfall is likely elsewhere from
the Southern Appalachians and Southeast through early next week as
the system very slowly moves eastward. Local rainfall amounts of 5
to 7 inches will be possible across the western Carolinas and
southern Appalachians.

The next storm summary will be issued by the Weather Prediction
Center at 400 AM CDT. Please refer to your local National Weather
Service office for additional information on this event.
