counter clock wise with storms imbedded on either side. that's the feature largely driving the showers and of course the flooding that we've seen locally. on the short-term you see the occasional showers. back to the west more showers dropping -- developing back to the west. that includes the morning hours too. as we move along in the day itself we see showers like we've seen in the past 24 hours. still impressive totals elsewhere as well. we've seen the past couple of days pushing inland. lot ofs -- lots of cloud cover needless to say. holding on to a higher rain chance but by thursday mostly afternoon showers and

chance of showers. the rainfall potential as we get into tuesday and on into wednesday the greater amounts to the north as this will drift away to the northwest but around to provide a huge influence for tomorrow. another day of a fairly high rain chance at 70%. eventually into wednesday at 60%. same for thursday and friday. as we head into the end of the week back in that summer routine of afternoon showers and storms as the low pressure moves away from us. if you've been cheated if you need help she's on your side. better call josh benson. . >> sometimes believe it or not the story continues after it hits the air. here's some stories we thought you'd like to hear about.
