With periods of soaking rain expected, showers will persist across our region this evening and into Monday. Depending on where the heaviest rain sets up, some areas could pick up 3 to 5 inches of rainfall, with isolated higher totals of up to 7 inches.Along the coastline, heavy rain could worsen flooding, especially during high tide. Look for a drier weather pattern to return by the middle of the week.
