* IMPACTS...Creeks and streams may rise out of their banks. Area creeks and streams are running high and could flood with more heavy rain.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - Quick hitting rainfall amounts of 0.75 to 1.00 inch are expected within strong thunderstorms. Combined with already elevated streamflows, this poses a threat for localized flooding. Additionally, elevations above 3,500 feet will see the added hydrologic element of snow and ice melt further contributing to river and stream rises. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood
