Scattered showers and some downpours will continue to be possible through the morning, with a chance for showers lingering into the evening as well. But the widespread, heaviest rain has moved through most of the state overnight, producing 1" to 3" in western parts of the state where flooding has been a problem this Monday morning. Many roads are experiencing flooding in the Flash Flood Warning counties. Here are some of the reports:
