Rain is going to continue on and off into Tuesday morning. Additional rainfall amounts from Monday morning into Tuesday will be in the 1-3" range. Weekend totals in some counties will have exceeded 7" by the time the rain comes to an end. This is obviously not going to help the flooding situation.

Continued flooding. Concern will increase with each passing day that the strain on levees could cause some to break. Be prepared for flash flooding in the event of a levee breach. Have life jackets and other emergency supplies ready for immediate deployment in the event of a breach.
Showers and thunderstorms on and off into Tuesday morning. Lightning. Heavy downpours.
Snake bites - a number of people have reported snakes escaping the flood waters and moving into areas they are normally not seen.

1. Dry weather Wednesday into Thursday. Will watch Friday for a bit of a disturbance moving into the region. Will update in the coming days. Also some warmer air will be moving back into the area.
2. I am watching the April 8th-13th time frame for severe weather risks. It appears the atmosphere will reload by then and produce a few storm systems that will need to be monitored.
