RELATED: What does a 9 First Warning Weather Alert Day mean?

A Flash Flood Watch is in effect until 4 a.m. Friday. Storms could produce rainfall amounts of over one inch per hour. Given how saturated our grounds are, some spots could experience flash flooding. Areas in green are under the watch.

Localized rain totals over two inches

Along with flash flooding, the SPC has placed the bulk of the Tri-State in a slight risk for severe thunderstorms. This means the severe weather should remain scattered and not widespread.
