Greater impacts to our area begin later Tuesday and continue through early Thursday. Main threat will be significant rainfall leading to flooding in some areas. Rainfall potential of 2-5 inches with some higher amounts south and westward. The second potential threat will be tropical tornadoes Wednesday into Thursday.
