Heavy Rains, Flood Risk Through Through The Weekend

June 19, 2026

A flash flood watch continues through Friday afternoon.

An active and very wet tropical weather pattern will dominate the area heading into the weekend. The remnants of former Tropical Storm Arthur will track through the region, dragging a slow-moving cold front that is expected to stall directly over us. This setup will maintain deep tropical moisture and high instability, leading to widespread, heavy rainfall and a continued threat of localized flash flooding through Sunday. A brief reprieve with lower storm chances and hotter, more humid conditions arrives early next week as mid-level ridging builds, pushing daytime temperatures up into the lower 90s with high heat indices
