Sunday evening

Main discussion will lie in Monday-Thursday, as a slow moving front approaches and stalls over our area...

Monday's storms will be west of I-65 and will be very isolated in nature...no big deal for tomorrow.

However, Tuesday-Thursday morning will be a heavy rain event. It will not rain this entire period, but rounds of heavy rain are possible.

Isolated storms are possible again Tuesday afternoon across the entire area, becoming more widespread Tuesday night. The best chances of storms will last until Wednesday evening, with just leftover showers thru Thursday morning...
One to maybe two inches of rain can big expected through this period, again, with training of storms, you could get more.
However, this storm is so similar to the one last week that I don't see us getting an overwhelming amount of rainfall that would cause minor flooding or creek/small river rises...
So, the forecast:
Tonight: No hazards/low near 70
Monday-Tuesday 5PM: Isolated storms/high temps to lower 90's and lows in lower 70's/high humidity...limit outdoor activity
Tuesday 5PM-Wednesday night: Widespread rain/storms...1-1.5" likely/highs in mid 80's and lows in lower-middle 70's
Thursday morning: Isolated showers
Thursday night-Sunday: Hot weather/highs in upper 80's/lower 90's and lows around 70
Tropical Storm Bertha may become a hurricane in the next couple days, but according to the NHC forecast map, should not effect the U.S.
Winds are now 60mph, and the storm is still 1060 miles east of the Leeward Islands.
