Heavy Rainfall Slated for Drought-Stricken Areas

Rain finally moves into areas that have been drought-stricken. There will be a chance of repeated storms and downpours across the mid-south through the northeast.  A cold front will be pushing eastward across the eastern portions of the United States, where most of these storms will develop along the front. 

Cities like Atlanta have not received that much rain. Atlanta has received only 0.02 inches of rainfall for the month of September. This set the record for the driest September since record-keeping. 

Over the next several days, the Weather Prediction Center has issued excessive rainfall outlooks. A slight risk has been issued for Tennessee, Kentucky, West Virginia, and the southern portions of Ohio. A Marginal risk will hover over the south for the next 5 days. 

Rainfall totals can reach 1-2 inches, and isolated totals of 3 inches or higher will be possible for areas in the Slight Risk.
