More from NWS:
At 700 AM EDT, Doppler radar and automated rain gauges indicated that heavy rain was falling over the area. The heavy rain will cause flooding. Up to one inch of rain has already fallen. Additional rainfall amounts of several inches are possible, and Flash Flood Warnings could be required later today. For now, though, flooding will be relatively slow to develop…
A Flood Warning means that flooding is imminent or occurring. All interested parties should take necessary precautions immediately.
