 .DISCUSSION...
 Repeated rounds of showers and thunderstorms will move across the 
 region through Thursday night, bringing the potential for additional 
 heavy rainfall and flash flooding. Saturated ground from recent 
 heavy rain will make small streams and low-lying areas especially 
 vulnerable to flooding with additional rainfall. A Flash Flood Watch 
 remains in effect for the entire area through Friday morning. 
 
 A few storms could also produce gusty winds capable of knocking down 
 trees. Drier weather is expected Friday into Saturday before storm 
 chances return Sunday.
