...VERY HEAVY RAINFALL POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON...

SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED THIS AFTERNOON.
ANY OF THESE STORMS IS CAPABLE OF PRODUCING VERY HEAVY RAINFALL.
SOME STORMS HAVE A HISTORY OF PRODUCING 1/2 INCH OF RAIN IN AS
LITTLE AS 15 MINUTES. DRAINAGE SYSTEMS CAN QUICKLY BECOME
INUNDATED UNTIL THE STORM HAS PASSED. IF YOU ARE OUT DRIVING, IN
THE HEAVY DOWNPOURS, VISIBILITY WILL BE GREATLY REDUCED AND
HYDROPLANING WILL BE POSSIBLE. USE CAUTION AND REDUCE YOUR SPEED.

THESE SHOWERS AND STORMS ARE PROGRESSIVE AND MOVING TO THE
NORTHEAST AROUND 30 MPH. IMPACTS DUE TO THE HEAVY RAIN SHOULD BE
SHORT-LIVED.

STAY AWARE OF HEAVY RAIN THIS AFTERNOON. IF STORMS BEGIN TO
REPEATEDLY MOVE OVER THE SAME AREA, WARNINGS MAY BE NEEDED THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
