Any intense rainfall or greater than 0.8 inch per hour may result in flooding in low-lying areas.
Avoid flood-prone areas

The Office of Emergency Management is posting “No Parking Signs” in these areas, which should be taken as advisories. Cars will not be towed. Barricades will be deployed near flood-prone intersections.
