Flood watch issued ahead of Sunday night rainfall
Heavy rain is expected to return late Sunday night, prompting a flood watch for portions of the state.

Persistent overnight rain could trigger flash flooding
As a frontal boundary stalls across the state, it will help fuel rounds of showers and thunderstorms, with heavy rainfall expected. Rainfall totals of 2 to 4 inches are possible in some areas, raising concerns for flash flooding.
Stormy Saturday rolls in: rain soakers and morning gusts
