Heavy showers and thunderstorms are forming repeatedly this evening in steamy tropical air across the Charlotte metro region, raising the possibility of flooding problems.
More than 2 1/2 inches of rain has fallen at Charlotte/Douglas International Airport in the last 36 hours, and even more rainfall is on the way.
Forecasters say the stream of unstable, tropical air being pushed into the Carolinas from the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico will continue to trigger heavy showers and storms through at least Tuesday night and possibly through Wednesday.
Many areas near Charlotte have received 2 inches or more of rain since Sunday afternoon.
The precipitation is forecast to end late tonight but begin again around midday Tuesday.
Very humid conditions are expected to continue, with nighttime lows only in the upper 60s and daytime highs near 80 degrees. Some fog is possible overnight with the high humidity.

How about we send the rain to California to forestall any fires there. C'mon our west coast readers how about it?!
