AVERAGE RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 1.25 TO 1.50 INCHES ARE EXPECTED TO

RAINS...THE GROUND ACROSS THE AREA IS CLOSE TO SATURATED AND SOME 
STREAMS ARE RUNNING HIGH. LOCALLY HIGHER RAINFALL AMOUNTS IN EXCESS 
OF 1.50 INCHES COULD CAUSE FLOODING ALONG STREAMS AND CREEKS IN THE 
INDICATED AREAS. URBAN FLOODING IS ALSO POSSIBLE IN POOR DRAINAGE 
AREAS. 

PEOPLE ALONG CREEKS AND STREAMS SHOULD MONITOR WATER LEVELS 
FREQUENTLY IF HEAVY RAIN OCCURS. CHECK PREPAREDNESS REQUIREMENTS. BE 
READY TO LEAVE IMMEDIATELY IF YOU ARE IN A FLOOD PRONE AREA AND 
FLOODING IS OBSERVED OR A WARNING IS ISSUED. HAVE ALTERNATIVE ESCAPE 
ROUTES PLANNED IN CASE WATER COVERS OR IS FLOWING ACROSS YOUR 
PRIMARY ESCAPE ROUTE.

POOR DRAINAGE FLOODING IS EXPECTED WITH THE HEAVIER RAIN TOWARD 
MORNING. PLEASE GIVE YOURSELF SOME EXTRA TIME FOR YOUR MORNING 
COMMUTE ON WEDNESDAY.
