Thunderstorms with very heavy rainfall are likely today. These storms may tend to move slowly over the same areas producing several inches of rainfall in a short period of time. This could lead to flash flooding.
Creeks and streams could see very fast rises. Areas that are prone to flooding like city intersections and low water crossings could become flooded very quickly.
