  WILL BE ACCOMPANIED BY SOME DOWNPOURS. SOME PARTS OF THE AREA
  PICKED UP ABOUT 1 TO 2 INCHES OF RAIN TODAY, AND THE GROUND IS
  SATURATED. ANY ADDITIONAL DOWNPOURS CAN RESULT IN FLOODING.

* POOR DRAINAGE FLOODING AND PONDING OF WATER ON SOME ROADWAYS CAN
  OCCUR DURING DOWNPOURS. SMALLER STREAMS AND CREEKS COULD LOCALLY
  FLOOD, ESPECIALLY IF SIMILAR AREAS THAT HAD VERY HEAVY RAIN ON
  SUNDAY AND SO FAR TODAY EXPERIENCE IT AGAIN THROUGH THIS
  EVENING. IF THE RAIN FALLS HEAVY ENOUGH IN A SHORT PERIOD OF
  TIME IN THE SAME AREA, THE THREAT FOR LOCAL FLASH FLOODING WILL
  INCREASE.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A FLASH FLOOD WATCH MEANS THAT CONDITIONS MAY DEVELOP THAT LEAD
TO FLASH FLOODING. FLASH FLOODING IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION.

YOU SHOULD MONITOR LATER FORECASTS AND BE PREPARED TO TAKE ACTION
SHOULD FLASH FLOOD WARNINGS BE ISSUED.
