HAZARDOUS WEATHER: Rain and embedded thunderstorms, some of which will produce locally heavy rainfall along with isolated hail and lightning strikes, will continue to develop and spread northeast across the region. These thunderstorms could result in rainfall amounts of one to two inches and isolated higher amounts. The rains will not be as heavy overnight, but the ever increasing soil moisture can reach saturation, resulting in flooding and flash flooding of low lying and poor drainage areas.
There will be periods of rain with embedded thunderstorms, some of which may contain locally heavy rainfall that will be decreasing over most of the region with the exception of parts of lower northwest and north central Louisiana, on Tuesday. After the rains end, cold air will continue to spread over the area with freezing temperatures returning during the overnight and early morning hours mid to late week, with below normal daytime temperatures expected to persist throughout much of this week and weekend.
