heavy rainfall,
with rainfall amounts around 1 to 3 inches possible within an
hour or two. Storms may also train over the same areas,
causing the possibility for locally higher amounts around
to 5 inches of rain within a few hours. Heavy rainfall in a
short period of time combining with already saturated soils
means that creeks and streams may rapidly rise out of their
banks along with the potential for flash flooding in urban
areas.
