Dear Emergency Managers and other partners,

A widespread soaking rainfall of 2 to 4 inches is likely this afternoon
into Thursday with brisk winds. The rainfall may become locally heavy which
may yield some poor drainage flooding of low lying areas, and ponding of
water on roadways. Leaves, twigs, trash and other debris could clog some
drains and produce some nuisance flooding. If confidence increases for the
potential of widespread flooding, then a flood watch may be issued later
today.

Southeast winds could gust 35 to 45 mph tonight in some spots before
shifting to the northwest.

Some localized wind gusts could approach 40 to 50 mph on Thursday and if
confidence increases for damaging winds, a wind advisory may be needed.

Please see attached forecast graphics for total rainfall as well as maximum
wind gusts for this event.
