There’s also a possibility of some minor flooding as storms move repeatedly through the same areas.
The cold front will bring 1 to 2 inches of rain in some areas, and possibly as much as 2 to 4 inches in others through Monday.
More showers are expected the rest of the week, meaning that increasingly saturated soils could increase the odds of flash flooding.
It’s not clear yet where the worst of the weather will fall, or how serious the flash flooding threat may be later in the week.
