More heavy rain could cause rivers to rise

Just as soon as the latest system exits, focus will shift to a weekend storm that could bring heavy rain to the local area. After a general 1.5 – 3.5 inches of rain in the region since early Thursday morning, much more is expected after only two dry days.  According to a National Weather Service hydrologic outlook, rises on area rivers could lead to minor or moderate flooding.Precipitable Water (atmopsheric moisture) Percent of Normal, 1am Monday | Image via WeatherBELL MODELS
