A quiet forecast is in store for most of the country this week with the exception of parts of the Southeast, mid-South, Tennessee and the Ohio Valleys, where a stalled front will be the focus for showers and thunderstorms across the region.

Flash flooding will be possible as the ground is saturated and the water has no place to go.

Light snow and/or freezing precipitation will be possible over the Appalachians Tuesday night into Wednesday.
