* Additional rounds of light to moderate rainfall are expected into early Monday morning ahead of an approaching cold front. Preceding rainfall amounts of 1.5 to 4.0 inches across the watch area have left soils compromised. Additional rainfall totals between 0.25 and 1.0 inches are possible through Monday morning, and much of this will be pure runoff given the state of the soils. This will result in additional rises on creeks and streams as well as ponding in low laying areas.
