This amount of rainfall in a relatively short amount of time will have the potential to cause rapid flooding along streams and creeks, in urban areas, and in other low-lying and poor drainage areas, the NWS said, issuing:

• Flash Flood Watch until August 15, 12:00 AM EDT

For the region, the NWS says:

Low pressure slowly shifts through the region today with at least scattered showers and thunderstorms developing. Some storms could produce heavy rainfall. It should otherwise be partly to mostly cloudy and humid with near-normal high temperatures. Showers and storms exit east tonight, then high pressure builds in for Wednesday with rain-free conditions. It should feel a little less humid, although high temperatures will be warmer this time around.
