* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers,
creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations.
Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas. Low-water
crossings may become flooded.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- A strong surge of subtropical moisture combined with a weak
upper level disturbance raises the potential for excessive
rainfall across the region. Though storms will not be slow
moving, training echoes and rainfall rates in excess of 2
inches per hour are possible. Slick rock areas and slot
canyons are at greatest risk, but urban flooding is also a
concern.
