street flooding and flooding of creeks and rivers are possible.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- Thunderstorms are expected across the watch area tonight into
Sunday morning. Very high rainfall rates of 2 inches or
greater in a short time are possible, which could lead to
flash flooding particularly in urban areas. In addition, with
the potential for repeated rounds of storms, some locations
could receive 2 to 4 inches of rain with locally higher
amounts possible. With saturated soils from previous
rainfall, these rainfall rates and rainfall amounts will lead
to an increased risk for flash flooding.


PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible Flood
Warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be prepared
to take action should flooding develop.
