Excessive rainfall possible today

Slow-moving storms capable of localized rainfall rates of 2 to 4 inches per hour, may pass across the same locations, resulting in flash flooding. Flash flooding may inundate roads, making them impassible. Urban areas with poor drainage are also susceptible to flash flooding. The entire forecast area is under a Slight Risk (Level 2 of 5) for severe thunderstorms this afternoon and evening. The greatest threat from any severe storms will be damaging winds, with the highest potential across the northeast portion of the area. Isolated one inch hail is also possible.
