.DISCUSSION...
Wetting rains will persist through Tuesday, although it will not
be an entirely wet period as the rains will occur in pockets and
bursts. The net effect will be the same as the 48 hour accumulations
range from up to an inch, to perhaps 3 inches or more locally. Drier
and seasonally cooler air will be incoming thereafter, to close
out the back half of the week.
