8/2 – Rob’s Wednesday Afternoon Forecast

Sloppy conditions have been developing through the region, but our activity won’t really come until tomorrow. A WET PATTERN kicks off later today today across the forecast area as a front moves northward towards the 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, with potential FLASH FLOODING Friday/Saturday. 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.
