==DISCUSSION==
HEAVY RAIN THIS WEEKEND WILL BRING TOTAL AMOUNTS OF 70 TO 90 MM.
WIDESPREAD RAIN WHICH CROSSED THE AREA THIS MORNING HAS PUSHED OFF
TO THE NORTHWEST. A SECOND PUSH OF RAIN IS EXPECTED TO ARRIVE ON
SUNDAY MORNING. AN ADDITIONAL 20 TO 40 MM IS LIKELY, ON TOP OF WHAT
FELL DURING SATURDAY.
SOME AREAS MAY SEE MORE RAIN CONTINUING INTO NEXT WEEK, BUT
CONFIDENCE IS LOW AT THIS TIME.
WITH THE GROUND ALREADY SATURATED FROM THE STORM THIS PAST WEEKEND
AND RAINFALL TOTALS FOR THE MONTH OF JUNE WELL ABOVE NORMAL,
ADDITIONAL RAIN IS LIKELY TO CAUSE OVERLAND FLOODING, WASHOUTS, AND
IMPACTS TO INFRASTRUCTURE AND PROPERTY.
LOCALIZED FLOODING IS LIKELY. SOME ROADS MAY BECOME IMPASSABLE.
DON'T DRIVE THROUGH FLOODED ROADWAYS. AVOID LOW-LYING AREAS. STAY
AWAY FROM RIVERS, CREEKS AND CULVERTS.
