* 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...
- Recent heavy rainfall of 2 to 4 plus inches over the last 48
hours has saturated top-soils and elevated streamflows, with
some river flooding already observed. Steady moisture flow
and consistent showers and storms over the next few days will
continue to precipitate 1.5 to 2.5 inches of rain on average
over these areas, however, the bigger concern is localized
rainfall values of 5 to 7 inches that several models have
indicated could fall over isolated pre-saturated locations
leading to flash, river, and urban flooding issues.
