The flood threat will be further exacerbated by well-saturated soils still present across portions of the region due to significant antecedent rainfall.

This may result in street flooding, as well as rises along area rivers and creeks. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
