* WHEN...Through late Friday night.

* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers,

  Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas. Some of the
  heavy rainfall will occur overnight; use extra caution since
  flooded roadways are impossible to see at night.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
  - A weak tropical disturbance moving westward over the northern
    Gulf will produce periods of potentially heavy and training
    rainfall through Friday night. Storm total rainfall of 3 to 6
    inches are likely through Friday night, especially near and
    south of the Interstate 10 corridor with isolated totals up
    to 10 inches possible.
