With a continued tropical air mass over the area, very heavy rainfall rates are possible in many of these storms. These rates could approach 2 to 3 inches per hour, with higher instantaneous rates possible. This may cause creeks and stream to quickly rise out of their banks along with potential flash flooding in urban areas. The most vulnerable locations would be urbanized areas along I-95 as well as areas which have experienced heavy rainfall in recent days. - Please visit www.weather.gov/safety/flood for flood safety and preparedness information
