* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas. Low-water crossings may become flooded.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - A strong surge of subtropical moisture combined with a weak upper level disturbance raises the potential for excessive rainfall across the region. Though storms will not be slow moving, training echoes and rainfall rates in excess of 2 inches per hour are possible. Slick rock areas and slot canyons are at greatest risk, but urban flooding is also a concern. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood
