- Rainfall of 1 to 3 inches possible through tonight, with the
heaviest rain falling later this afternoon and this evening.
The ground remains very saturated following multiple rounds
of heavy rainfall over the last month. A period of higher
hourly rainfall rates is possible tonight 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.
