Flood Warning

More storms expected to continue the flood threat through the day.

Tonight's the big night of the total lunar eclipse. It's the rare full moon eclipse, one that coincides with the winter solstice as the eclipse carries into early Tuesday morning.

Rare as it is, you probably won't see it.

More likely, you'll see rain and lots of it, according to the National Weather Service.
