Graphical HWO - Flash Flooding Threat

This graphic shows the expected coverage of any potential flash flooding within the threatened area.

Conversely, a red color (or "Widespread" category) covering several counties would reflect a larger area of heavy rain that could cause flash flooding across multiple areas in those counties.
