Water levels have dropped the past few days on rivers, streams and all our local of bodies of water. Now theyre able to absorb the impact from these showers. So we should have very minimal Flooding Risk here in the bay. We see as we move through today into tomorrow, some pockets of heavy rainfall mostly increasing this afternoon tonight into tomorrow. Those pockets of heavy rain could come along with a few isolated thunderstorms, too. Todays rainfall anywhere between a quarter and a half an inch for most spots.
