may occur in poor drainage and urban areas. Area creeks and
streams are running high and could flood with more rain.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- Flood potential remains high today even though much less rain
is forecast. Many area rivers and streams are rising this
morning, and slow responding rivers could see rises into
Saturday afternoon. With the saturated soils and high rivers
and creeks, any additional rain will slow receding of the
water and continue the potential for flooding.

You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible Flood
Warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be prepared
to take action should flooding develop.
