Widespread rainfall totals of 3 to 4 inches are forecast, mostly falling within a 24-hour period on Saturday and Saturday night. Locally higher amounts approaching or exceeding 5 inches cannot be ruled out. The expected rainfall on top of soils saturated from recent precipitation and elevated flows on area streams and rivers are sufficient to cause high impact flash flooding and river flooding. Rock and mud slides will also be possible. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible Flood Warnings and Flash Flood Warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should prepare now and be ready to take action when a warning is issued or flooding is observed.
