Heavy rain and storms are expected to increase in coverage tonight with increasing concerns for flash flooding. Storms tonight could produce 3-6" of rain in a short amount of time. In addition, multiple storms could move over the same location, producing even higher amounts.

First Alert Weather Days extend out through Thursday as an Extreme Heat Warning is in effect until Thursday evening. Peak heat indices up to 110 degrees are possible, especially Tuesday - Thursday which may very well be the worst of it.

It's getting ready to get pretty awful outside. Stay well everybody.
