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.
A stray shower/thunderstorm is possible on Sunday night.
Snake bites - a number of people have reported snakes escaping the flood waters and moving into areas they are normally not seen. .

1. We will have a few scattered thunderstorms on Sunday into Wednesday - I don't believe widespread storms will form until Thursday. We will be in an unstable air mass - meaning warm and more humid - this typically would cause a few thunderstorms to form. This will be especially true if we get a disturbance moving through the region.
2. Temperatures and dew points will be on the rise next week with highs likely in the 80s and dew points in the 60s and 70s. It will, at times, feel muggy.
3. A cold front is forecast to pass through the region on Thursday and Thursday night. This front will spark some showers and thunderstorms. After the front passes through then temperatures should moderate a bit. Rainfall totals with the front could be in the 0.40-1.00 range. .
We will have to monitor for a severe weather risk with the cold front. Still some time to fine tune that part of the forecast.
