Flooding will still be an issue over the next couple of days as rain and storm chances continue over the next few days. Scattered shower and storms will be likely again as we head into Sunday with primarily a flood risk, but one or two could pulse severe with local wind gusts near 60mph possible with any of those storms.
Daily rain chances continue to be in place as we head through mid week. The highest chance will be over the weekend with slightly lesser chances for the first half of the upcoming week.
While the severe threat remains low overall, a few storms could produce strong downburst winds capable of prompting brief severe thunderstorm warnings on Saturday. And once again, the threat for localized flash flooding could quickly increase under the heaviest storms so remain very aware of that flooding threat.
Area lake levels remain elevated, which could impact some recreational areas. Many lakes also have floating debris. Use extra caution on the water. Levels are slowly dropping, but will remain high for the upcoming week.
The daily morning weather podcast briefing will remain on hold indefinitely due to ongoing internal workflow issues.
We're working to resolve these challenges as soon as possible and appreciate your patience. We apologize for the inconvenience and hope to be back soon. Thank you for your understanding.
