- A round of storms brought around an inch of rain to the Watch
area last evening, and another line will bring more heavy

to train over the Watch area later this morning, as well.
Given the saturated soil, the additional heavy rains will
likely result in widespread nuisance flooding and more
isolated flash flooding.
