- Additional rainfall amounts between 1.0 to 3.0 inches are
expected across the Watch area into Thursday. About two dozen
of our river points are forecast to approach flood stage
today into Thursday, with several exceeding flood stage. The
rain will be heavy at times, with hourly rates reaching or
exceeding an inch, with the more widespread and heaviest rain

During the higher rainfall rates, local flash flooding cannot
be ruled out. Excessive runoff may continue to cause rivers,
creeks, and streams to rise through the end of the week even
when the rain has ended.
