The National Weather Service says flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be possible until noon today.

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.

Heavy rain and a few thunderstorms is continuing throughout the area this morning.

Rainfall rates of 1 to 2 inches per hour on dry ground may initially enhance runoff leading to flooding of urbanized and low lying areas.
