* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- A cold front pushes through the area tonight with rounds of
rain and showers continuing through early Saturday morning.
Area average rainfall is expected to range from a half of an
inch to three quarters of an inch with locally higher totals
in excess of one inch possible. Recent heavy rain has allowed
for soils to remain very saturated and not able to hold much
additional rainfall. Additionally, rivers and creeks remain
high across the area with many rivers still in flood stage.
As such, any additional rainfall may cause flooding.
