* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- Rounds of showers and storms will continue through Thursday
night. Rainfall rates up to 2 inches per hour will have the
potential to produce rapid runoff, especially during the
afternoon and evening hours on Thursday. Soils are becoming
increasingly saturated from persistent rainfall over the past
couple of days, further elevating the risk of flash flooding.
Rainfall amounts will generally range from 1 to 2 inches, with
isolated totals up to 3 inches.
- Rapid runoff and flash flooding will be most likely in complex
terrain, below recent burn scars, low-lying areas, urban areas,
normally dry arroyos, near rivers and streams, and in locations
where the ground is already saturated from recent heavy rainfall.
