This looks to be the most significant rainfall event in many months. Most computer models are suggesting 1”-2” of rain area wide with isolated amounts up to 3”.  At this time, the main threat with possible severe weather is heavy downpours and strong gusty winds in excess of 60 MPH.  Here is your update forecast:
