In-Depth:
While the threat for severe storms and tornadoes has moved out of the NewsChannel 5 coverage area our threat for Flash Flooding continues today. With so many areas having seen close to a foot of rain in the last week the ground cannot absorb any more water.
Any rain that falls will quickly trigger a Flash Flood Warning or extend Flash Flood Warnings already in effect! Also, while the wind will not be as bad as the last few days it is possible a strong wind gust could uproot a tree with how saturated the ground is.
While we are only six days into the month of April we have already seen more rain in those six days than the average rainfall for the entire month!
If you live in flood prone areas, please make sure you are paying attention to the weather today for the potential of additional flooding.
While the rain moves out tonight flooding concerns remain for rivers, creeks, and streams throughout the week as all the water that feel has to move downstream and out of the area.
