* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- Clusters of strong to severe thunderstorms are likely to push
across the region through this evening. With a continued
tropical air mass over the area, very heavy rainfall rates
are possible in many of these storms. These rates could
approach 2 to 3 inches per hour, with higher instantaneous
rates possible. This may cause creeks and stream to quickly
rise out of their banks along with potential flash flooding
in urban areas. The most vulnerable locations would be
urbanized areas along I-95 as well as areas which
have experienced heavy rainfall in recent days.

You should monitor later forecasts and be prepared to take action
