Overview
- A separate tropical‑moisture disturbance has prompted a National Weather Service Flood Watch for Miami‑Dade and Broward counties through Monday, with scattered totals of 3–5 inches and isolated 5–7 inches possible.
- Heavy rain and flash‑flood risk are concentrated over the Four Corners region Sunday into Monday before the larger storm moves east toward the central United States for Election Day Tuesday.
- Model guidance brings soggy, windy conditions across a broad swath of the central U.S. on Tuesday, with rain and ponding on roads that could affect in‑person voting and travel.
- Meteorologists warn the storm’s southern flank could produce a line of thunderstorms that become strong to isolatedly severe from eastern Texas into the lower Mississippi Valley, and a cold front is expected to pass Central Texas early Tuesday.
- After Election Day the pattern is expected to stay active, with additional midweek systems likely to bring more rain and storms and provide some drought relief in places but not erase multi‑week deficits.
