through this evening. While the storms should be progressive,
they should produce torrential rainfall rates. Soils are
fairly saturated from recent rainfall which gives less space
for water to soak in leading to rapid runoff.

www.weather.gov/safety/flood.

You should monitor later forecasts and be prepared to take action
should Flash Flood Warnings be issued.
