BLOG: Unsettled Tuesday

A cold front draped across the Mississippi Valley may produce heavy showers and thunderstorms through tomorrow (Wednesday) morning. Strong thunderstorms may produce small hail and gusty winds this afternoon and evening.

Although the month of June has been more than ample in the rainfall department, putting us in a surplus of .30" of rain, we are still 6.05" below since January 1st, so the rain would be a good thing.

What we don't want is for the rain to come all at once in a short period of time like in a heavy downpour because that could lead to the potential for flooding. 1 to 1 1/2 inches of rain is possible through the evening. 

A Coastal Flood Advisory has already gone into effect because the combination of high tide and onshore wind could cause some low coastal flooding. The Coastal Flood Advisory is in effect until 6AM Wednesday.
