* WHEN...Through late tonight.

* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers,
creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations.
Creeks and streams may rise out of their banks. Flooding may occur
in poor drainage and urban areas. Low-water crossings may be
flooded. Storm drains and ditches may become clogged with debris.
Extensive street flooding and flooding of creeks and rivers are
possible.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- A dangerous surge of monsoon moisture will continue to stream
across the forecast area  Wednesday and Wednesday night, and
probably also Thursday and Thursday night east of the continental
divide.  Scattered occurrences of Flash flooding will probably
occur again Wednesday and Wednesday night, and some main stem
river and tributary flooding will become increasingly likely.
Stronger storms will be capable of producing rain at rates around
1 to 2 inches per hour, with additional rain amounts in many
locations along and east of the continental divide reaching 1 to
3 inches, with locally higher amounts potentially over 4 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.
