Rainfall rates should diminish during the morning hours on Tuesday. However, there is a chance of scattered showers and thunderstorms from late Tuesday morning into Tuesday afternoon that could bring additional locally heavy rain. All precipitation should end by Tuesday evening.

* Rainfall totals of 1 to 1.5 inches are expected with locally higher amounts around 2 inches possible. The moderate to heavy rain is forecast to fall on areas that received generally 1 to 3 inches of rain on Friday. The ground remains wet, and rivers and streams continue to run high.

It should not take much rainfall to result in new flooding at that time in light of the wet conditions leading up to the event.
