The greater chance for showers and storms will arrive on Tuesday afternoon and evening. A line of storms is forecast to develop late morning into the midday hours. This line will then track east through the area, with embedded strong to severe storms possible. The line of storms will exit NE Alabama by 8-9 p.m. Tuesday.
On Tuesday, the boundary will push north as a warm front supporting the chance for isolated strong to severe storms. As the front tracks north, the area will be positioned in the warm sector of the system; the area in between the warm and cold front.
With the Tennessee Valley placed in the warm sector, conditions will be favorable for strong storms to develop. The rain chance will then continue on Wednesday as the accompanying cold front tracks through the area.
The Storm Prediction Center currently has a portion of the area highlighted under a 'Marginal Risk' (level 1 out of 5) for strong to severe storm development both Monday and Tuesday.
Storms that can develop on Monday and Tuesday will be capable of producing strong winds over 60 mph, large hail (quarter-size or larger), frequent lightning, and locally heavy rain. With the recent rain the area has seen, we will be monitoring the possibility of localized flooding of low-lying areas and small creeks, rivers, and streams.

Heat, humidity return to Philadelphia region Thursday, tracking storms for the weekend. Here's the forecast.
Here we go, the heat and humidity are making a return on Thursday in the Philadelphia region after a nice mid-July break. On Thursday, we warm to 90 again, and on Friday we'll be pushing 100, certainly reaching (and exceeding) when accounting for the humidity and the feels-like temps. Dewpoint temps will be going back into the mid-70s, so get ready to sweat when heading outside. In addition, your air conditioning will likely be cranking back on — no more comfortable nights with the windows open — at least for now. The next chance of storms arrives late Friday with the chance of an isolated strong to severe storm. At this point, the Storm Prediction Center has our region in a marginal risk for severe storms (1 of 5). By the weekend, it will again be unsettled. No organized weather systems are expected at this point, so we remain weather alert-free, but we'll keep you posted. Thursday: Sunny. High 90, Low 68. Friday: NEXT Weather Alert for heat. High 97, Low 73. Saturday: P.m. thunderstorm. High 92, Low 78. Sunday: Shower, thunderstorms. High 87, Low 73. Monday: Sun returns. High 91, Low 74. Tuesday: Mostly sunny. High 96, Low 75. Wednesday: Scattered storms. High 90, Low 73. NEXT Weather Radars Hourly Forecast

Heavy Rains and Flash Floods Threaten Midwest and Ohio Valley
Severe, slow-moving storms are expected to sweep across Illinois and Indiana on Sunday, with some areas potentially getting up to 11 inches of rainfall, significantly raising the risk of flash flooding, forecasters said. The threat stems from a cold front moving into the region, particularly in the afternoon, and stalling there, creating conditions for repeated rounds of storms that could unload torrential rains. The Weather Prediction Center has issued a Level 3 out of 4 risk for excessive rainfall across central Illinois. The center said rainfall rates could reach three to four inches per hour, and up to eight inches in some areas. Frank Pereira, a meteorologist at the Weather Prediction Center, said that a significant amount of atmospheric moisture was contributing to the risk of intense rainfall. 'Typically during the summer, we get warm humid air masses,' he said. 'But this is on the higher end of that.' A Level 2 out of 4 risk for flash flooding extended from eastern Iowa and northern Missouri to western West Virginia and as far south as northeast Georgia and western North Carolina. Much of this region was under multiple flood watches on Sunday. Damaging winds, hail, tornadoes and other types of severe weather were also a concern. The Storm Prediction Center placed central Illinois, Central Indiana, southern Ohio, northern Kentucky and southeastern West Virginia under a Level 2 out of 5 risk for severe storms on Sunday. The main threats included strong, potentially damaging winds and isolated hail. There was a low risk for tornadoes. The risk of flash flooding was expected to persist into the week. 'Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, there's a concern the storms in those areas may be impacted by more additional heavy rains going into Monday,' Mr. Pereira said. 'So if you get back-to-back or repeated storms, that could really elevate flooding concerns.' The Weather Prediction Center has issued a Level 2 out of 4 risk on Monday for excessive rainfall across those states, as well as for southwestern West Virginia and the far west of Virginia. The ground will already be saturated from Sunday's storms, forecasters said, and additional rainfall could reach up to three inches an hour, and locally as much as five inches, causing conditions ripe for flash flooding.

Ex-tropical disturbance could still unleash flooding rains over Louisiana's coast
A former tropical disturbance being watched by hurricane forecasters failed to form into a tropical depression before reaching the Louisiana coast, but it still threatens downpours and flash flooding as it marches inland on July 18, forecasters said. The system, previously called Invest 93L, is already causing thunderstorms and scattered showers just southwest of New Orleans, the Storm Prediction Center said. Flood watches blanket much of the southern half of Louisiana through midday July 19, according to the National Weather Service. The risk for excessive rainfall and flash flooding from this system is highest along the I-10/12 corridor and south of it, the weather service office in New Orleans said. Flooding concerns extend along the coastal plain from Houston, Texas, to Pensacola, Florida, forecasters said. Downpours with rainfall rates of 2 to 3 inches per hour could lead to ponding of water in areas that are low-lying and have poor drainage, leading to flooding of some roads, the weather service said. In areas with the heaviest rainfall, some structures could also become flooded. The risk of rain continues through the weekend, but the flash flooding threat over the weekend will depend on how much total rain falls between July 17 and 18, the weather service in New Orleans said. "Even a poorly organized tropical rainstorm can still produce localized torrential downpours that can lead to incidents of dangerous flash flooding," AccuWeather said. The Atlantic hurricane season officially began on June 1 and will last through the end of November. Active hurricane weather typically peaks between mid-August and mid-October.
