* WHEN...From 11 AM EDT this morning through this evening.

* 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. Extensive street flooding and flooding of creeks and
  rivers are possible.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
  - Showers and thunderstorms develop early this afternoon and
    into tonight. A nearby frontal boundary will provide focus
    for repeated storms to develop. This along with increasing
    moisture and previous heavy rainfall will set the stage for
    additional flash flooding across the area.
