Multiple waves of low pressure developing along the front will bring bouts of heavy rain and thunderstorms that will only progress very slowly eastward across the central Gulf Coast states. This will keep the threat of flash flooding in place through the next couples of days. Heavy rain may also be enhanced by thunderstorms training across the same region. Rainfall amounts of 3 to 6 inches, are possible across sections of the Gulf Coast into the southern Applachians through Saturday.
