8/2 – Rob’s “Rain Moving In” Wednesday Forecast

The wet pattern kicks off today across the forecast area as a front moves northward towards the forecast area. This will be a
slow and multi day event as the front meanders across the area this evening through Friday before dissipating. Moisture levels will be on the increase today with models suggesting a HEAVY RAIN THREAT each day through at least Saturday. The activity looks to be driven by daytime heating with the frontal boundary being the focus for the showers/t-storms.

The Weather Prediction Center (WPC)  has portions of the forecast area in a marginal risk for excessive rainfall for the next 3 days. It looks like our best chances of rain will come Friday and Saturday. Rainfall totals of 1 to 3 inches can be expected on any given day over the next few days. No severe weather expected at this time…however, rounds of heavy rain several days in a row could lead to FLASH FLOODING. Expect this pattern to continue through the weekend. Going into next week another front is being shown in the guidance to sink southward over the country.
