.KEY MESSAGE 1...Unsettled weather pattern continues, with scattered to numerous showers and storms likely through at least midweek.

Showers and storms will continue into tonight with heavy rain possible. A similar pattern looks to continue into midweek. Isolated flooding could be possible should slow-moving, heavy rainfall move over the same areas for several hours. Things will start to shift into the latter half of the week and the weekend as less mid-level energy traverses the area and high pressure attempts to build in.

Marine
6 ft waves may linger near 20 nm out but otherwise conditions within 20 nm will fall below Small Craft Advisory thresholds. Shower/storm activity will remain possible overnight with reduced visibility in heavy rain. Sub-SCA (Small Craft Advisory) conditions thereafter for the remainder of the week with S/SE flow as Bermuda high pressure is locked in place off to the east, but periodic heavy rainfall may linger through midweek.
