The rainfall from the showers and thunderstorms that have

rainfall during this time frame will continue to create
flooding concerns especially over areas that have seen heavy
downpours over the past couple of days.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS… 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.
