- An early season back door cool front will interact with a late
season plume of deep tropical moisture, bringing several rounds
of thunderstorms with torrential downpours to the region Tuesday
afternoon through Wednesday evening. Repeated thunderstorms may
tend to focus in one or two areas, resulting in higher end
precipitation totals. The most critical period with the heaviest
rain potential will likely be Tuesday night into Wednesday
