* Additional rounds of rain are expected to occur tonight and will be heavy at times. Total rainfall amounts by Monday morning will likely range from 2 to 4 inches for much of the area. This will result in flooding of many creeks, streams, and rivers. High water issues will likely also develop across some low lying and poor drainage areas as well.
