A Flood Watch remains in effect through late tonight for our entire area. Scattered, slow moving storms with heavy rains, will continue to affect the NWS Morristown forecast area today and tonight. This could produce isolated flash flooding anywhere, but areas that have received heavy rains over the last two days will be most at risk.
Isolated to scattered showers and storms through Monday. Any areas that have received heavy rains in recent days will be at risk of seeing some flooding issues with these additional storms. A Flood Watch remains in effect through 2 AM EDT Monday. For Wednesday onward, a gradual warmup is expected with more typical isolated to scattered afternoon storms.
