Rainfall totals across the area are expected to be between 1 and 3 inches, but locally higher amounts will be possible, and this could result in minor flooding of urban and poor drainage areas.

There is a Marginal Risk (1 out of 5) across the entire area, with isolated hail and damaging winds possible, along with a few isolated weak tornadoes.

Excessive rainfall is expected through much of the day Sunday morning through evening.
