Storms are expected to develop after noon and pulse through the evening hours. Due to how much rain was picked up Monday, there is an elevated flooding concern within the afternoon downpours. We are highlighted for localized flooding threats along with gusty wind within the storms.
Tuesday evening there will be lingering activity before quiet conditions take over after midnight. We keep the level one risk for severe storms and flooding. This means the thunderstorms could produce strong winds, frequent lightning, flooding, and hail can’t be ruled out, but it isn’t likely the main concern.
This week remains active with daily thunderstorms and localized flooding concerns.
The tropics are still active with Tropical Storm Bret working westward in the Atlantic. The latest advisory keeps it as a tropical storm, but it is expected to strengthen into a hurricane within the next few days as it works toward the Lesser Antilles.
Bret looks to move into the Caribbean waters, so this will be something we need to keep our eyes on, even if it's with indirect impacts.
