Forecasters expect showers, thunderstorms and localized flash flooding tonight

Forecasters say an increase in showers and thunderstorms is likely this evening into the overnight hours, and a localized flash-flooding threat will exist in some areas, forecasters said.

The threat stems from recent bouts of heavy rainfall, especially west of the Mississippi River, forecasters said.

Forecasters said the flash-flood risk will be most concentrated in places that have already received heavy rain. They advised people to monitor local forecasts for updates, forecasters said.
