  in poor drainage and urban areas. Area creeks and streams are 

  running high and could flood with more heavy rain.



* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

  - Heavy rainfall rates will be possible with storms crossing

    the area today, and recent heavy rainfall makes the watch

    area more vulnerable than usual to flash flooding.





PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...



You should monitor later forecasts and be prepared to take action 

should Flash Flood Warnings be issued.
