While the severe weather threat has ended, heavy rain continues. Nighttime flash flooding is a hidden hazard. When it is dark, it is impossible to tell how deep floodwaters are or if a road has washed out. As a reminder a Flood Watch is in effect, now through 7 PM Wednesday.
Rain chances continue today with scattered showers and storms bringing heavy downpours and a localized flash flood risk, especially in areas that have already seen heavy rain. Severe storms are not expected. Rain will taper off from north to south this afternoon, though it may linger south of I-80 into Wednesday.
