TODAY'S RELATIVE PAUSE IN PRECIPITATING ACTION WILL BE FOLLOWED
BY A RESUMPTION OF WHAT WILL BECOME DAILY ROUNDS OF SHOWERS
WITH POTENTIAL FOR ANY TIME THUNDERSTORMS. NO PARTICULAR DAY OR
ROUND OF STORMS LOOKS ANYTHING BEYOND GENERAL RISK AS OUTLOOKED

7 DAY EXPECTED TOTAL QPF WILL AVERAGE IN THE 1-2" RANGE, BUT
LOCALIZED HIGHER AMOUNTS COULD PRODUCE SPOTTY FLOOD ISSUES. AS A
RESULT OF THE ABOVE NORMAL/WET PATTERN, MORE CLOUDS/POPS MEANS

MODEL FLIRTATIONS WITH A DEVELOPING REX BLOCKING PATTERN COME TO
BETTER FRUITION WRT OUR AREA, WE MIGHT BE LOOKING AT A BREAK IN
