| Message 1’s will be allowed to expire as the threat for heavy rainfall has ended at least temporarily. A boundary has pushed back to the west into the District and thunderstorms are developing at this time over parts of Jefferson County. Elevated surface moisture levels will allow storms to be able to produce heavy rain that may lead to excessive runoff. Storms will most likely be pulse-like and move very little from their initiation point. The slow moving nature of the storms may allow for extended periods of moderate to heavy rainfall. Best chances for thunderstorms will be over the next 3-4 hours then precipitation should favor light non-thunderstorm rain showers into Saturday morning. |
WORST CASE SCENARIO: A moderate to strong stationary thunderstorm may result in up to 1.6” in 45-75 minutes.
