The NWS also warned of the possibility of "small" or "weak" tornadoes - although none had been reported as of Monday morning."
""It's going to be a very soggy, wet period over much of the week," said Mike Wofford, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service, who warned of "heavy rain and gusty winds." "We're expecting another round of showers later tonight into tomorrow morning - you might hear some thunder in the early morning hours of Tuesday. It'll be more scattered, not raining everywhere, more off and on," Wofford said."
