Additional localized rainfall of 1 to 2 inches is expected over the

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Some of these showers and storms are producing rainfall rates in
excess of two inches per hour. Flash Flood Warnings may be needed
later this morning for areas that see multiple rounds of storms, so
be certain to monitor local radio stations and available television
stations for additional information and possible warnings from the
National Weather Service.

Turn around...don't drown when encountering flooded roads. Most flood
deaths occur in vehicles.

Excessive runoff from heavy rainfall will cause flooding of small
creeks and streams, urban areas, highways, streets and underpasses as
well as other drainage areas and low lying spots.
