IMPACTS: Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS:
- Periods of moderate to heavy rain and thunderstorms arrive this afternoon from west to east and continue into tomorrow with rainfall rates reaching or exceeding 1 to 2 inches per hour at times.
Despite recent dry conditions, such high rainfall rates in a short period of time can result in flash flooding, especially in urban and poor drainage areas and where heavy rain repeatedly impacts a given area.
