* deep tropical moisture will move into the region today through

2 inches per hour. Accumulations of 3 to 5 inches will be possible
with locally higher amounts possible.

* Impacts include a likelihood of nuisance street flooding and
ponding of water in poorly drained areas. There is a potential
for flooding during periods of higher rain intensities that may
threaten inundation of property and vehicles. In addition...
communities near tidal influenced waterways may experience slow
drainage due to higher than normal tides.

flood warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be
prepared to take action should flooding develop.
