A surface low on the coast is moving our way right now.  Moisture levels will be on the increase around here throughout today as the system nears.  Rain and storms will be possible not only this afternoon but in fact, chances go up as the low moves closer to us by tonight. 

Tonight and into Mother's Day our chances for rain and storms will be much improved.  Still not anticipating severe weather, but gusty winds and heavy rainfall will be our primary threats. 

Today's rainfall will be fairly light since we are not expecting much until later today and this evening. Rain could total one to three inches in some areas of the Valley by tomorrow night.

There may be some flooding in low-lying parts of the Valley.  Rain should begin tapering off Sunday evening with improving condtions much of next week.

Rain and storms heading for the Valley tonight and Monday Morning.  And although some storms may be severe, our main threat will be gusty winds and heavy rainfall.  In fact, there is a slight risk for severe weather tonight, but it is only for folks to our west.

The line of showers and storms should begin moving into the Shoals first, Monday morning.  Between 12 and 2pm rain and storms begin rolling into the Metro.  And between 2 and 6pm showers and storms head through Sand Mountain.  Some storms could be severe in the afternoon with daytime heating creating a little more instabilty.  But once again, our primary threats  will be gusty winds and heavy rain.
