What’s on Deck

Shower and thunderstorm chances increase this weekend with locally heavy rain possible in any storms that develop. This will bring an increased potential for flash flooding in isolated locations, particularly in the White Mountains. A few strong thunderstorms will also be possible today and tomorrow during the afternoon. Additional showers and thunderstorms are expected through much of next week. This will bring a continued threat of flash flooding…though confidence in location and timing remain low.
