What, impacts and precautionsHide details
What
Flash flooding caused by excessive rainfall is possible.
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. Low-water crossings may be flooded.
Additional details
- Another round of showers and thunderstorms are expected to impact areas that have already seen repeated rounds of heavy rainfall. Rainfall rates in excess of 1 inch per hour will cause rapid runoff and flash flooding. Those areas recently impacted by heavy rainfall will be especially susceptible to additional flash flooding.
