* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- Abundant Gulf moisture combined with a slow moving storm
system will continue to bring the potential for various
rounds of showers and thunderstorms, some with very heavy
rainfall. The rain will continue tonight through Friday
morning before ending. Given the hard dry soil from the lack
of rainfall over the past several months, there is a
potential for this heavy rain to quickly run off producing
flash flooding.
