...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF EXCESSIVE RAINFALL OVER PARTS OF THE  
LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY AND SOUTHEAST ON SUNDAY AND THE SOUTHERN  
MID-ATLANTIC ON MONDAY...  
 
...UPPER-LEVEL LOW WILL BRING UNSETTLED WEATHER AND WELL BELOW  
AVERAGE TEMPERATURES TO THE WEST WITH HIGH-ELEVATION WET SNOW IN  
THE SIERRA NEVADA MOUNTAINS...  
 
UPPER-LEVEL ENERGY OVER THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY WILL PRODUCE  
RAIN AND THUNDERSTORMS OVER PARTS OF THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY  
AND SOUTHEAST, WITH HEAVY RAIN OVER PARTS OF THE REGION.  
THEREFORE, THE WPC HAS ISSUED A SLIGHT RISK (LEVEL 2/4) OF  
EXCESSIVE RAINFALL OVER PARTS OF THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY AND  
SOUTHEAST THROUGH MONDAY MORNING. THE ASSOCIATED HEAVY RAIN WILL  
CREATE MAINLY LOCALIZED AREAS OF FLASH FLOODING, WITH URBAN AREAS,  
ROADS, SMALL STREAMS, AND LOW-LYING AREAS THE MOST VULNERABLE.  
 
ON MONDAY, LOW PRESSURE ALONG THE SOUTHEAST COAST WILL PULL  
MOISTURE OFF THE ATLANTIC, PRODUCING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS  
OVER THE MID-ATLANTIC. THE MOISTURE WILL AID IN CREATING HEAVY  
RAIN OVER PARTS OF THE SOUTHERN MID-ATLANTIC. THEREFORE, THE WPC  
HAS ISSUED A SLIGHT RISK (LEVEL 2/4) OF EXCESSIVE RAINFALL OVER  
PARTS OF THE SOUTHERN MID-ATLANTIC FROM MONDAY INTO TUESDAY  
MORNING. THE ASSOCIATED HEAVY RAIN WILL CREATE MAINLY LOCALIZED  
AREAS OF FLASH FLOODING, WITH URBAN AREAS, ROADS, SMALL STREAMS,  
AND LOW-LYING AREAS THE MOST VULNERABLE.  
 
ON TUESDAY, THE MOISTURE WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE INLAND OFF THE  
ATLANTIC. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP OVER THE  
MID-ATLANTIC, PRODUCING MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN. THEREFORE, THE WPC  
HAS ISSUED A MARGINAL RISK (LEVEL 1/4) OF EXCESSIVE RAINFALL OVER  
PARTS OF THE MID-ATLANTIC ON TUESDAY. THE ASSOCIATED HEAVY RAIN  
WILL CREATE LOCALIZED AREAS OF FLASH FLOODING, AFFECTING AREAS  
THAT EXPERIENCE RAPID RUNOFF WITH HEAVY RAIN.  
 
MEANWHILE, A DEVELOPING UPPER-LEVEL LOW OVER CALIFORNIA WILL  
SLOWLY MOVE TO THE NORTHERN INTERMOUNTAIN REGION BY TUESDAY  
EVENING. THE SYSTEM WILL PRODUCE RAIN WITH EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS  
OVER PARTS OF CALIFORNIA, THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST, AND THE GREAT  
BASIN. ON MONDAY, OVER THE HIGHEST ELEVATIONS OF THE SIERRA NEVADA  
MOUNTAINS, WET SNOW WILL DEVELOP, WHILE RAIN WITH EMBEDDED  
THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE OVER PARTS OF CALIFORNIA, THE PACIFIC  
NORTHWEST, AND THE GREAT BASIN THROUGH TUESDAY.  
 
ON MONDAY, AS THE UPPER-LEVEL LOW MOVES FARTHER INLAND, SHOWERS  
AND STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP OVER PARTS OF THE  
EASTERN GREAT BASIN, CENTRAL ROCKIES, AND SOUTHERN ROCKIES.  
THEREFORE, THE SPC HAS ISSUED A MARGINAL RISK (LEVEL 1/5)OF SEVERE  
THUNDERSTORMS OVER PARTS OF THE EASTERN GREAT BASIN, CENTRAL  
ROCKIES, AND SOUTHERN ROCKIES FROM MONDAY INTO TUESDAY MORNING.  
THE HAZARDS ASSOCIATED WITH THESE THUNDERSTORMS ARE FREQUENT  
LIGHTNING, SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WIND GUSTS, HAIL, AND A MINIMAL  
THREAT OF TORNADOES.  
 
ON TUESDAY, AS THE UPPER-LEVEL LOW MOVES INTO THE NORTHERN  
INTERMOUNTAIN REGION, THE THREAT OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS MOVES TO  
THE HIGH PLAINS. THEREFORE, THE SPC HAS ISSUED A MARGINAL RISK  
(LEVEL 1/5) OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER PARTS OF THE NORTHERN  
HIGH PLAINS, CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS, AND SOUTHERN HIGH PLAINS. THE
