Discussion:

An upper low continues to rotate across the region this afternoon, 
producing isolated to scattered showers and storms. The
environment remains conducive for isolated flooding. This is due 
to the combination of antecedent rainfall and a continued high PW
environment with efficient warm rainfall processes in place. 
Flooding will be most likely across areas that have recently seen
heavy rain and flooding and receive additional moderate to heavy 
precip amounts through this evening. An additional, localized, 1 
to 3 inches of rainfall are expected through this evening. Pin 
pointing where these higher amounts will occur is tough, due to 
the random and pop-up nature of the precip. Bottom line, though
most places will not have any issues, additional isolated 
flooding is possible through this evening for some.

The central circulation of the upper low, currently across northern 
AL, jogs southwest this evening. This southwest jog, combined 
with loss of daytime heating, will allow for showers and storms 
to become more isolated as well as diminish across our area. 
Additional showers and storms expected on Tuesday but hopefully 
not as widespread as today. The areas most likely to see them will
be along I-40 and south, closer to the vicinity of the upper low
circulation, or what's left of it.

By Wednesday and beyond, we return to the more typical summer- 
like pattern. Mostly dry conditions, upper 80s to low 90s, and 
with daily chances for diurnal convection, mainly focused across 
our high terrain areas.
