- A quasi west-east upper trough remains nearly stationary from
KY through VA this afternoon. This has allowed for scattered
showers earlier today and last night with locally heavy
rainfall. Rainfall totals have locally already exceeded 2.5
to 3 inches in some locations. The latest guidance shows
showers and embedded storms becoming more widespread this
afternoon with localized totals of 3 to 5 inches possible. As
such, scattered instances of flash flooding are possible.
