  Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
  - A plume of tropical moisture will overspread the area and will
    combine with strong lift and weak to moderate instability to
    support areas of intense rainfall rates and an accompanying risk
    of flooding. Total rainfall of 3 to 6 inches are forecast, with
    locally higher amounts possible. The highest amounts are expected
    to be where bands of thunderstorms are most persistent.
