Some of the storms could produce heavy rainfall and additional 2-3 inches of rain may fall, the NWS forecast said. A chance of showers and thunderstorms will linger into Sunday night, however rainfall totals will measure between just a tenth and quarter of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms.<\/p>\n<p>At 5 p.m. Saturday, Henri was packing winds of 75 m.p.h., a minimal hurricane.
