When Will It Stop? Flooding Threat Shifts to the Southeast...Again

It seems like we've been talking about rain for weeks, as parts of the Southeast are once again dealing with a chance for heavy rain and the potential for flash flooding.  
In the last seven days, rain has doused a large swath of the Southeast, dropping up to 19" in some locations from the Florida Panhandle into the southern Appalachians, Tennessee and Kentucky.

All this rain has saturated the ground and swelled waterways throughout the region, leaving some on edge as they keep a close eye on rising waters.

Now, an upper-level low trapped between two domes of high pressure aloft will drop southwestward from the Appalachians to the Southern Plains this weekend. 

Unfortunately, this will continue the wet trend into Saturday, locally adding another couple of inches of rain and creating a recipe for localized flash flooding in areas that have already been soaked.
