Forecasters say showers and numerous thunderstorms are expected later this afternoon through and evening. Rainfall amounts will average around 1 to 1.5 inches across the area, but locally higher amounts of 2 to 4 inches are likely and much of that may fall in a one to two hour timeframe.

Heavy rain in short periods of time may cause creeks and streams to rapidly rise out of their banks along with potential flash flooding in urban areas.

Residents should stay tuned to local forecasts.
