According to the NWS, Doppler radar has detected heavy rain from thunderstorms, resulting in minor flooding in low-lying and poor drainage areas. Approximately 2 to 3 inches of rain have already fallen, with an additional 1 to 2 inches expected. This additional rainfall is likely to lead to further minor flooding in the region.
