Through today, a feed of moisture from the Gulf of Mexico is
forecast to continue to fuel scattered thunderstorms across the
region. The overall poor organization of this activity will likely
keep the potential for flooding rainfall lower than in recent
days. Thus, this will be the final summary for this rainfall event.

This will be the last Storm Summary issued by the Weather
Prediction Center for this event. Please refer to your local
National Weather service office for additional information.
