* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers,
creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations.
Creeks and streams may rise out of their banks. Flooding may occur
in poor drainage and urban areas.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- Heavy rain Tuesday and early Wednesday means the ground is
already saturated so any additional rain will quickly become
runoff. Additional rain amounts of up to two inches are
possible as additional rounds of showers and thunderstorms
are expected through Thursday. Roadway flooding will be
possible especially in areas of poor drainage. There is also
a risk for river flooding. Some river, creek, and stream
levels may continue to rise through the end of the week even
after the rain has ended.

to take action should flooding develop.
