- Rainfall of 1 to 3 inches possible Tuesday through early
Wednesday, with the heaviest rain falling Tuesday night. The
ground remains very saturated following multiple rounds of
heavy rainfall over the last month. A period of higher hourly
rainfall rates is possible during Tuesday night which would
enhance the potential for flooding, particularly in the urban
areas. Tidal inundation combined with runoff in coastal areas
may significantly elevate the flood risk, especially if
occurring during times of high tide.
