ESFLOT A strong storm system will deliver waves of showers to the region through Tuesday, with the greatest coverage expected this evening and overnight. Widespread rainfall amounts over 1 inch are expected with isolated amounts up to 3 inches. With vegetation remaining dormant and soil moisture remaining above average, soil infiltration of rainfall will be limited and cause increased runoff into low lying spots and rivers. As a result, rivers may rise to or above bankfull, and low-lying locations with poor drainage such as farm fields and ditches may flood where the rain is heaviest. This outlook means that elevated water levels and potential impacts are possible, but not yet certain. Persons should closely monitor forecasts including the possibility of flood watches, warnings, and advisories.
