Wx Summary
Showers and thunderstorms will be developing today and that will kick off the start to a very wet week. Various frontal boundaries and copious amounts of Gulf Moisture will combine to create numerous showers and storms through the week and into next weekend. Some of the storms could be strong and some of the rainfall could be heavy. By the end of the week, rainfall totals of 3-6 inches are expected to be common across the plateau.

SPC T-storm Outlook for Today
Our region has been downgraded back to the risk for “general, non-severe” storms for today, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they add us back to the “marginal risk” before the day is over. Each day this week will offer a chance for isolated strong to severe storms, with gusty winds and heavy rainfall possible.
