.Scattered thunderstorms will continue to develop and form across
the area this afternoon, continuing into late tonight. These storms
are forming in a very moist airmass and moving slowly, resulting in
locally very heavy rainfall. Given the saturated soils from recent
rainfall, any precipitation will run off quickly resulting in high
potential for flash flooding near any thunderstorms.
