excess runoff from earlier rainfall. It will take several hours
for all the water from these storms to work through local drainage
systems in urban areas.

across the warned area. Several road closures, road washouts
and isolated landslides have been reported. Additional
rainfall of around 1 inch over the next few hours may lead to
