With soils still very wet from recent bouts of rain, isolated flooding will be possible, especially during the thunderstorms that are possible Tuesday afternoon and evening.

Locations that already experienced flooding in recent days, will be more vulnerable to additional rainfall.

Residents and businesses located near waterways should keep up on current weather and water conditions and be prepared to take any necessary action.

Residents who have storm drains near their homes or businesses should help prevent flooding in the poor drainage areas by clearing debris from those drain grates.
