Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - Warm temperatures and gusty winds are expected to cause a portion of the snowpack across the area to melt through the day. In addition, a strong storm system may bring 1 to 2 inches of rainfall to the region late tonight through Thursday evening. The combination of rainfall and rapid snow melt are expected to cause significant rises on area creeks and rivers, with some waterways reaching flood stage.
