Here's what else:

• One to two inches of rain is expected, though three inches or more is possible in some areas.
• The Weather Channel, in its hourly forecast, predicts storms will start about 3 p.m. and could continue through nightfall.
• The heaviest rain is expected this afternoon and evening, including the afternoon commute. Excessive rainfall within a short period of time can lead to rapidly rising water and flash flooding, particularly in urban areas and along small creeks and streams.
• "Rapidly rising flood waters may quickly inundate roadways and areas of poor drainage. Streams and creeks could leave their banks, flooding nearby properties. Please monitor the forecast, especially if you live in a location that is prone to flooding," the NWS said.
• Skies will clear Wednesday, when sunshine and highs in the upper 80s are predicted.
