More rain on the way

After a brief respite, another round of rain and thunderstorms will arrive tonight with the potential for flash flooding once again a reality. A stationary front positioned to our south will lift north tonight, while an upper-level impulse rides that front from west to east into the Mid-South. I expect most rain to hold off until after 10pm, possibly as late as midnight, in the metro area, and then last through much of the night and early Wednesday. Widespread rainfall totals of 1-2" are possible, with locally high amounts possible. The chance of rain lingers into Wednesday before tapering off. The next potential round moves in Thursday afternoon with chances unfortunately continuing through the weekend once again. Check the MWN forecast for more.
