...MULTIPLE ROUNDS OF RAIN EXPECTED THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT...

.THE RISK FOR FLASH FLOODING REMAINS OVER THE REGION DURING THE
WEEKEND AS WAVES OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOP ALONG A
STALLED FRONTAL BOUNDARY THAT WILL LINGER OVER THE REGION INTO
EARLY NEXT WEEK. A MOIST AIRMASS WILL SUPPORT PERIODS OF
TORRENTIAL RAIN, HEAVIEST IN THUNDERSTORMS. AFTER EACH ROUND OF
RAIN THE WET GROUND CONDITIONS WILL SUPPORT MORE RAPID RUNOFF AND
INCREASE THE THREAT FOR FLASH FLOODING.
