ESFLOT
A strong storm system will deliver waves of showers to the region
later this afternoon and into Tuesday, with the greatest coverage
expected this evening and overnight. Widespread rainfall amounts
over 1 inch are expected with isolated amounts up to 3 inches.
With vegetation remaining dormant and soil moisture remaining above
average, soil infiltration of rainfall will be limited and cause
increased runoff into low lying spots and rivers. As a result,
rivers may rise to or above bankfull, and low-lying locations with
poor drainage such as farm fields and ditches may flood where the
rain is heaviest.
This outlook means that elevated water levels and potential impacts
are possible, but not yet certain. Persons should closely monitor
forecasts including the possibility of flood watches, warnings, and
advisories.
