Special Weather Statement
Issued: 5:28 PM Aug. 7, 2026 – National Weather Service
...LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN GUSTY WINDS LIKELY THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING... A broad area of showers and thunderstorms continues to develop and move slowly over the area this afternoon. These showers and storms may contain locally heavy rainfall up to an inch in a short amount of time. This rapid accumulation of rain may cause minor flooding of poor drainage areas in the more urbanized and steep terrain locations. Most flooding should be mainly an inconvenience, but if several showers and storms pass through the same locations...flood problems could become worse. Some of the storms could also produce small hail and brief gusty winds from strong downbursts. Pay close attention if driving through these heavier storm cells, or if you live near flood prone areas.
