Latest radar imagery shows high reflectivity values still just south of our southern border with KY/VA. These bands of rain are expected to lift north/northeast into our area later today, keeping periods of rain in our forecast through early Wednesday. Despite the dry soils, repeated heavy rains could trigger flooding/flash flooding, especially in & around areas with poor drainage. A Flood/Flash Flood watch means that conditions MAY develop that lead to flooding. Monitor the latest forecasts & be prepared to take action in the event that warnings are issued.
