FLASH FLOODING CONCERNS: I am growing more and more concerned that dangerous flash flooding could impact the region this weekend. Strong, perhaps severe storms will be possible Saturday afternoon and evening into the overnight hours. With all of the heat and humidity, we will have excessive amounts of thunderstorm energy and moisture for these storms to work with. If you live in a flood prone area, make sure you are prepared and ready to act quickly if a flash flood warning is issued for your area. We will keep you advised all weekend long! The ranges below will change and shift around a bit, this just gives you an idea of what is possible.
