In addition, severe weather will remain possible, with a localized Enhanced Risk from the Storm Prediction Center over the Upper Ohio Valley and a broader Slight Risk from the Upper Ohio Valley southward through the Mid-Atlantic and into the Southeast, mainly for the threat of damaging winds and a few tornadoes. Winds will also remain rather gusty ahead of the front, with sustained winds of 20-30 mph and gusts up to 50 mph possible. This will be the last Storm Summary issued by the Weather Prediction Center for this event. Please refer to your local National Weather service office for additional information. Putnam $$

The heavy rain is expected to cause additional instances of flash flooding across the Tennessee and Ohio Valley through the overnight hours, some of which could be significant. The severe weather and flash flood threats will gradually decrease towards daybreak Sunday as the frontal system pushes marches eastward, but scattered severe thunderstorms and isolated instances of flash flooding will still be possible across portions of the Eastern Seaboard to round out the weekend. The next Storm Summary will be issued by the Weather Prediction Center at 1000 AM CDT. Please refer to your local National Weather Service office for additional information on this event. Miller $$
