1- The front is coming and it appears rain is coming with it. Probabilities for rainfall are high later this morning but the severe threat remains south and southeast for today. Rain could be heavy at times since the front is moving slowly so keep this in mind if you are out and about. Localized flooding is also possible in those areas where the heavier rainfall occurs. Just be careful.
